[@ajanthawattegama5433]

Sheneller this is truly more than promoting tourism. You are waking up whole nation Thank you again and thank you dr Ranil Senanayake

[@mohamedzahranihassan3560]

Thanks for exploring srilanka tourism we need people like you ❤

[@Sheneller]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏽 and thanks for the support ♥️

[@srilankasapphirespecialist1970]

definitely am also trying my best to explore something different ❤

[@dileenijayatileke5712]

It is so nice to listen to an educated, qualified gentleman speaking in good English on a very important subject. Maybe, it will fall on deaf ears to the majority of ppl in SL who r lazy n want everything given to them, without lifting a finger n working hard !

[@市原勝美]

Good luck with your efforts to regenerate the forests of Sri Lanka ! I wish for Sri Lanka to be rich in nature, where diverse creatures coexist with forests. From Japan

[@CesareVesdani]

Sri Lanka has the best forests in the world. Keep preserving those forests. They are a great heritage of Sri Lanka's nature reserves.

[@Sheneller]

Yes, you are right

[@ashleydemar2445]

I must express my utmost admiration for the captivating video you've shared, which beautifully showcases the awe-inspiring wonders of nature. The majestic trees, the serene tranquillity emanating from every frame, and the diversity permeating the visual experience are all truly remarkable. Your ability to capture and convey such breathtaking moments is truly commendable. Please continue to share these mesmerizing videos that celebrate the magnificence of our natural world

[@alahoviyamsivasubramaniam7285]

Good job Sheneller👍. I understand the Dr. Ranil Senanayake's feeling. He knows that the government does not contribute properly to forest conservation. Sri Lanka has a lot of resources, if the government uses the resources properly, they will not be dependent on other countries. From Denmark🌲🌲🌳🌳

[@Sheneller]

Thank you!

[@dominic6055]

It's people that make the difference, you cannot expect government to do everything. Their role is to keep order for a society to function, but they cannot solve any problem out there.At the end it's about the people how proactive they want to take things.

[@dmwyt72002]

This video truly highlights the immense love and dedication of numerous people in Sri Lanka towards their beloved nation. They selflessly contribute to make it a better place, not seeking fame but simply paying tribute to their homeland. It is unfortunate that the Sri Lankan media rarely covers these individuals, instead focusing on distasteful political dramas. However, if we unite and prioritize what truly matters, there is great potential to create a high-quality life for everyone and build a better nation. ❤

Have been looking at your other vlogs and feel that with young people like you Sri Lanka still has a chance in the future. As a person working in enhancing nature based tourism in Sr Lanka forest conservation and enhancing skills of young people here, this feels so good. Keep up the excellent work.

[@LiamSheronz]

We appreciate your contents, which are related to Sri Lanka.

[@Therealtuxedo]

It’s so sad to see the cloud forests, dry shrubland forests and rainforests being cleared for agriculture and infrastructure because we have so many species found no where else. There needs to be more emphasis on the importance, and community education/outreach, also solutions to sustainably solve issues like elephant/monkey conflicts, because moving them and killing them is not the only solution

[@Sheneller]

100% agree!

[@jialee140]

I think mountaineous terrain is naturally bad for crops anyway.

[@manujasenevirathne7663]

Lovely inspiring, awakening video to most of srilankans lost track who they are as living being’s. Add to this Build less make the build footprint to a minimum and grow more, plant more to make the country a developed land

Also glad and proud to know of a genuine " Bhumi Putra " who left his fabulous life in a concrete jungle to create an analog forest in a barren land, a novel concept in our time. Caring for nature is caring for our next generations to come..! Many thanks for presenting us with an excellent inspiring documentary..!

[@russeldunusinghe1757]

I have never heard or seen such a person. As I feel, he is an excellent person. People like this are very valuable to our country. National People's Force should definitely get his services under a government. Because other people do not understand his experience, intelligence and dedication.

[@dominic6055]

It's been 5 years I'm researching and willing to move to Sri Lanka and live permanently and to do something similar, restore a land and live a happy existence in contact with nature. I am trying to find a way to get a residence permit, which is hard unless you bring in a lot of capital or you marry a local :) I believe the advent of the internet is the gamechanger for rural areas, especially with the push for work-from-home and new infrastructures supporting a global internet economy(like blockchain), all these are the main drivers motivating people to leave cities and go back to the land. So hyperglobalization(21st century) is the true friend of rural areas, not its enemy (20th century oil age).

[@Gordi_B]

According to Dr. Rohan Pethiyagoda, montane forests in the highlands of SL are almost impossible to regenerate - it will take centuries. How did Dr. Senanayake do it? I’m confused.

[@DilsiriWelikala]

Didn't Rohan already do it with his former property near Hantana area. Actually Dr ranil also talks about how he did it. I doubt it will be like hortain plains but it comes close....

[@what-we-eat]

Dr. Ranil Senanayake is so inspirational, his life is one of passionate dedication. Even simply watching this , it pulls you inward and slows you down. Much appreciation to him and you Sheneller. And a shoutout to the furry fellows too 🥰

[@starlitnews]

I think that if you kindle interest in people to analog forestry, where would politicians find land to sell and use for political interest. Soon Srilanka will be a destination for, gambling, and licensed prostitution. Instead of the forest, we will see concrete forests like in Hong Kong. Half the dry zone forest has been subject to vandalism resulting in the near destruction of vegetation & wildlife, Dr. Senanake, I have gone deep into the dry zone forest. Annually the acres of new forest land is cleared for Cannabis Cultivation. Needless to say, politicians had a say & a cut, and in fact certain politician was named "Ganja Hutan" for the double life he led.I think there is a lady minister now interested in the subject. Much of her time is used to discuss the advantages of the cultivation of the plant rather than visiting to see what you are doing. You have left your mark and people will be grateful for your contribution and sustaining biodiversity in a changing climate. to the ecological system. Sheneller thank you for your contributions. Last but not least, wake up people before it is too late.

Sri Lanka must 1. Control increase of human population. 2. Do not discriminate or fight with the Tamils. They are also outsiders who settled in Sri Lanka like the Sinhales... Tamils came from Tamil Nadu 8n India and Sinhakese came from orissa and westbengsl in India. Both are settlers. So why fight each other. 3. Throw away that rajapaksha clan the members of that family cheated Sri Lankans pretending to be budhist and drive away and killed the smarter prosperous Tamils. Clear all above problems and Sri Lanka will become pearl of Indian 9cean. But sadly rajapakshaas have sold part of Sri Lanka to the Chinese and now you can't get them out of your neck. They have come to stay like the Tamils and Sinhalese.... Sri Lanka has now 3 groups... 1.Sinhalese .2.Tamils 3.Chinese. .gone gone are those glorious days of Sri Lanka.
