Tokyo Cement Marks World Environment Day with 100,000 Mangroves planted along Sri Lanka's Coastline 🌿

• Milestone Achievement: The Tokyo Cement Mangrove Conservation Project has reached a total of 100,000 mangrove saplings planted along the coastline, marking its contribution on World Environment Day. • Project Scope & Capacity: Initiated in 2012 at China Bay, Trincomalee, the project started by restoring a 20-acre site with 17,000 saplings. Today, the on-premise nursery houses 10,000 saplings at a time and produces approximately 7,500 saplings annually across 8 native species. • National & Economic Impact: The initiative directly supports Sri Lanka's climate resilience and coastal livelihoods by protecting shorelines from erosion and storm surges. It secures critical breeding grounds for local fisheries and boosts the tourism sector by preserving regional biodiversity. • Collaboration: The project is a long-standing partnership between Tokyo Cement Group, the Sri Lanka Navy, local fishing communities, and conservation groups, expanding its reach across the eastern, northern, and northwestern coastal regions. • Broader Ecosystem: This reforestation program runs alongside Tokyo Cement’s other ecological initiatives, which include coral reef rehabilitation projects to restore Sri Lanka's marine ecosystems.
