DEUTSCHE Bank has partnered with Preserving Land and Nature (Guarantee) Ltd., (PLANT) to support the restoration of the Budunwela Forest Corridor in Sri Lanka—an ecologically significant area devastated by fire in 2024 and long threatened by illegal gem mining and poaching.

Deutsche Bank and WNPS PLANT partner to restore Sri Lanka's Budunwela Forest Corridor

Located in Sri Lanka’s intermediate zone, the 24-acre Budunwela site serves as a vital ecological bridge between a government forest reserve and the rural village of Uva Kosgama. The project is transforming the corridor into a thriving habitat for native wildlife, while integrating community-led conservation practices.

The partnership commenced in September 2024, aligning Deutsche Bank’s corporate social responsibility environment pillar with PLANT’s scientific restoration expertise. Since then, over 1,000 native trees—across 38 species—have been planted, with significant contributions from Deutsche Bank staff during a December 2024, volunteer initiative.
