Animal Welfare, Wildlife and Environmental Conservation

Advancing Animal Welfare, Wildlife Protection, and Environmental Conservation Initiatives

Promoting animal welfare, protecting wildlife and fostering environmental conservation is another Satva Fund priority. Focusing on these goals by funding specific programs to mitigate some of the negative effects of climate change, poorly planned population surges to certain rural areas of Sri Lanka, conflicts between humans and wildlife in buffer zones between national parks and human settlements, rapid increases in feral dogs and cats and rising levels of rabies among dogs and cats are all Satva Fund objectives.

Helping Abandoned and Neglected Animals

Helping Abandoned and Neglected Animals

An important Satva Fund Sri Lanka mission objective is working with organizations committed to the care of stray, abandoned and abused animals, primarily dogs and cats. In September 2024, Satva Fund Sri Lanka initiated a monthly contribution to an organization in Sri Lanka, the Animals’ Welfare and Protection Association (AWPA) that is involved in this valuable work. A registered charity in Sri Lanka, AWPA members, all on a volunteer basis, carry out the essential work of conducting sterilization programs of dogs and cats in different parts of Sri Lanka and rescuing, sheltering and finding home for both domestic and street dogs and cats. In fact, AWPA’s primary goal is finding responsible, forever homes for these dogs and cats. Funds provided every month by Satva Fund Sri Lanka are deployed toward paying the food, shelter, and vet bills for these abandoned and neglected animals.
