Citrus trees for a better tomorrow

Immerse yourself in the village life of Habarana—and make a real difference. As an exclusive partner of Karmaventura, we are working together with the community on a unique project: planting citrus trees. These create gentle boundaries that keep elephants away and protect the farmers’ fields.

At the same time, the villagers benefit from the harvest and can eat or sell the citrus fruits. With every plant you help to plant alongside locals, you are making a statement for hope, safety, and coexistence. Your commitment has a lasting impact—for people, for elephants, for the future of Sri Lanka.

In Sri Lanka, the conflict between humans and elephants is ever-present. Wild elephants cross ancient paths and enter farmers’ fields—a threat to crops and lives. Citrus trees, whose scent and taste deter elephants, serve as a natural and peaceful barrier: they protect both crops and elephants alike.

As an additional benefit, harvesting the fruit provides communities with food and an important supplementary income. This exclusive project with Karmaventura and the people of Habarana creates new hope and sustainable prospects—for genuine coexistence that benefits everyone.
