OTARA GUNEWARDENE
Otara’s passion for animal welfare and the environment was the driving force behind Embark and Otara foundation. Embark is a social enterprise dedicated to improving the lives of street dogs in Sri Lanka while Otara Foundation focuses on broader animal welfare issues as well as wildlife conservation, social development and environmental sustainability.
Since its inception Embark has successfully rescued, treated, fostered and found new homes for thousands of Sri Lankan stray dogs. Embark’s mission is to create a society where street dogs and people live in harmony with one another.
Otara Foundation is currently taking great strides in the areas of animal welfare as well as wildlife and environmental conservation. Getting approval on the much needed animal welfare bill was a tremendous win for all animals in Sri Lanka. The current appeal to end the suffering of the animals at the national zoo in Dehiwala, is supported by thousands of concerned citizens worldwide.
