Sri Lanka, Sept. 8 -- DFCC Bank has announced a strategic three-year partnership with the Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation Trust (WWCT) to support a science-based initiative aimed at conserving Sri Lanka's biodiversity by focusing on the protection of the island's apex predator, the threatened Sri Lankan leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya).

The partnership is anchored in the understanding that the leopard is an umbrella species. Protecting it also safeguards entire ecosystems and countless other species that share its habitat.
