Sri Lanka is one of the world’s most biodiversity-rich countries and it’s finding ways to balance rapid tourism growth with nature protection. Through UNDP’s Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN), Sri Lanka is advancing biodiversity finance with practical tools: a national tourism certification programme, support for 200+ SMEs, and a sustainable finance roadmap led by the Central Bank.

Watch how these solutions, from leopard insurance to green banking, are helping Sri Lanka turn ideas into impact in this conversation with Abbie Trinidad, Senior Technical Advisor, BIOFIN Global, and Ramitha Wijethunga, National Project Coordinator, BIOFIN Sri Lanka.
