NDB Bank and WNPS inspiring scouts towards a sustainable future

Business

NDB Bank, in collaboration with the Youth Wing of the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS), conducted a series of environment-focused ‘Fireside Chats’ at the SDG HUB during the 59^th Colombo Scout Camporee held recently at Viharamahadevi Park. The SDG HUB served as a dedicated space to promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through ‘Fireside Chats’ with engaging discussions and activities. The goal was to offer insights and inspiration to drive positive change through the SDGs.

The Fireside Chats were graced by eminent and passionate advocates of the UN SDGs including Ms. Narmadha Dangampola, President of the Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka (BCSSL); Professor Deepthi Wickramasinghe; and Thilina Kumarasiri, Senior Research Officer of the WNPS ANRM Project. These sessions delved into the ‘Champions for Nature’ Challenge, emphasising wildlife and forest conservation and instilling a sense of awareness and responsibility toward preserving Sri Lanka’s rich biodiversity, the bank said in a media release.

The Scout Camporee saw the active participation of approximately 3,000 Scouts representing over 60 schools. As part of this partnership, NDB Bank reinforced its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, aligning with its broader vision to empower Sri Lanka’s youth to be agents of positive change.
