Mahoora’s Carbon Neutrality Legacy
Mahoora Tented Safari Camps is Sri Lanka's first Carbon Neutral Safari Camp since the year 2010, certified by Carbon Credit Capital LLC - USA. That means every stay at Mahoora has no negative impact on the environment in terms of CO2 emission. This was achieved back in 2010, where we calculated our carbon emission as 110 kg per guest, per night. The figure was determined after a meticulous study conducted by Bonterra Lanka limited. After arriving at the number which would determine our next mission, we then mitigated it using eco-friendly initiatives such as recycling garbage, using solar power, utilising EM Technology to recycle organic waste etc. Lastly, we offset remaining emissions by purchasing carbon offsets to reduce our own tiny amount of greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, electricity use, and other sources.
Going carbon neutral wasn’t easy, but being carbon neural was worth it.
