Spa Ceylon shines a lens on the Human-Elephant conflict

Spa Ceylon together with its conservation arm Ceylon Elephant Co., launched the Majestic Ceylon Elephant Photography Competition & Exhibition, a four-day public showcase dedicated to raising awareness of the Human-Elephant conflict in Sri Lanka. 

The exhibition took place from September 8th to 11th at the Havelock City Mall, the official venue partner.

Organised in collaboration with the Wildlife & Nature Protection Society (WNPS), the initiative invited the public to showcase the magnificence of the Ceylon elephant through the lens of passionate photographers. 

Submissions were open across two categories, DSLR / Camera Photography and Mobile Photography, encouraging a wide spectrum of participants to engage in the cause. 

The initiative shed light on the Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC), one of the island’s urgent environmental issues, while honouring the cultural and ecological significance of the Ceylon elephant, in celebration of World Elephant Day. 

As part of its ongoing commitment to conservation, Spa Ceylon has dedicated its Ceylon Elephant range exclusively to this cause, with every purchase directly contributing towards initiatives that seek long-term solutions to the Human-Elephant Conflict. In addition, Spa Ceylon spearheads the ‘Gaja Nena Sahana’, scholarship program, launched in collaboration with WNPS in 2024, to support children and communities affected by the Human-Elephant Conflict complications.
