 The mountain is home to 120 species of endangered orchids and several medicinal herbs, including "Helichrysum gymnocephalum", which is used as an antiseptic and treatment for bronchitis; "Secneicia faujasiodides", which is used for healing wounds; "Psiadia altissima", which is used to treat eczema; "Bryophyllum proliferum", which is used to treat coughing; and "Brachylaena ramiflora", which is used to lower malarial fever.In 2015, Seacology launched its largest-ever project, a $3.4 million initiative to protect all of Sri Lanka's remaining mangrove forests and restore many degraded ones.Through Sri Lanka-based NGO Sudeesa (also known as the Small Fishers Federation of Lanka), Seacology is funding a significant expansion of that organization's existing microloan and job-training programs for impoverished coastal women.
