RARE Sri Lanka

Who We Are We are an animal rights advocacy organisation with a vision to create a world where all sentient beings have equal rights and autonomy. Founded in 2019, we are a registered Non Profit Association in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a biodiversity hotshot and home to asian elephant sub species Elephas maximus maximus and the species is listed "Endangered" by the IUCN. But Sri Lanka reports one of the worst human elephant conflict cases and one of the cruelest captive elephant industries of the world. RARE has been recognised as the voice of the Sri Lankan elephant by elephant advocates and elephant lovers across the globe. Ending the captive elephant industry and working towards elevating conservation status of our wild elephant population are 2 of our primary objectives. Through community participation, education, welfare projects for elephants and those who care for elephants, lobbying for change in local laws and policies along with staunch activism, we believe in changing attitudes of the people to achieve active participation of all Sri Lankans to bring about a positive change in the status of elephants in Sri Lanka. A species who has been both revered and tormented throughout the country's long history. RARE plan of action has three (3) main components, "RARE 3 Es" Expose - Show the reality Educate- why and what is wrong and correct and how to correct Evolve - the society changes by itself Not just elephants we work to expose and fight against cruelty inflicted on all animals, whether they are wild, domesticated, farm or companion animals and recognition of animals' sentient nature and rights by Sri Lanka is another of our primary objectives. We strive to make Sri Lanka understand that non humans have rights to mother Sri Lanka and this earth just like humans and that right is not less than that of the humans.
