Ali Patiya was started to spread awareness about endangered Sri Lankan elephants and mobilize resources to help protect them. Over the past three generations, the Asian elephant population has declined by 60 percent primarily due to habitat loss and human-elephant conflict. Ali Patiya helps raise funds for the Elephant Transit Home in the Udawalawe National Park and for nonprofits working on elephant conservation in Sri Lanka. The Elephant Transit Home was started by the Sri Lanka Department of Wildlife Conservation to raise orphaned elephant calves for release back into the wild. While at the center, contact with humans is deliberately minimized so that the elephants will not acclimate to humans. In addition to facilitating direct donations, Ali Patiya sells Sri Lankan designed and inspired tote bags, stickers, and other products and uses the profits to support elephant conservation. They work closely with Climate Action Now (CAN) Sri Lanka and Extinction Rebellion Sri Lanka.
