There is something quietly powerful about a community that refuses to give up on the land it calls home. 🌾🌿 In Halpita, Sri Lanka, wetlands that lay abandoned for over four decades are alive again - restored through the courage of farmers, women entrepreneurs, and children who became the next generation of conservation advocates. Supported by the @GEF_SGP and implemented by @UNDP #SriLanka, the Halpita wetland restoration project is a powerful model for how community ownership, biodiversity conservation, and economic empowerment can work together.
