Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts recently won deserved recognition for its climate stewardship and active role in rainforest restoration as the recipient of the Asia-Pacific Nature-based initiative of the year award at the Environmental Finance’s Sustainable Company Awards 2022. Launched in July 2021, the Cinnamon Rainforest project is an initiative spearheaded by Ruk Rakaganno in partnership with the Forest Department and Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, in memory of the former president of Ruk Rekaganno, late Mrs. Kamini Meedeniya Vitarana. The project is sponsored by the John Keells Foundation and aims to restore 59 acres of degraded land in the wet zone of Sri Lanka by March 2024, in order to create a sanctuary to safeguard and preserve the biodiversity for future generations.
