‘Saving Sinharaja and Beyond – a 10 Year Landscape Management Plan’ is the subject of this month’s Nations Trust Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS) lecture. It will be delivered by Prof. Nimal Gunatilleke, Dr. Jinie Dela and Anura Sathurusinghe at 6 p.m., on December 8 at the Jasmine Hall, BMICH.

The Sinharaja Forest Range Landscape Management Plan (SFR-LMP) is a 10-year Action Plan (2022- 2032) prepared by the World Bank-funded Ecosystem Conservation and Management Project (ESCAMP). It aims to demonstrate integrated landscape-level management planning for joint decision-making to enable more effective conservation of Sri Lanka’s unique biological diversity in the lowland wet zone, promote sustainable socio-economic development, and enhance the well-being of the local communities.

Prof. Nimal Gunatilleke together with Prof. Savitri Gunatilleke has been conducting long-term biological and ecological research in Sinharaja, and several other forests in Sri Lanka, over several decades. Dr. Jinie Dela is the lead consultant /ecologist of the consultancy team (TEAMS Consults) that prepared the Plan for ESCAMP.

Anura Sathurusinghe was formerly Conservator General of Forests, Chair of the Asia Pacific Forestry Commission, and is Project Director of the World Bank funded Ecosystem Conservation and Management Project (ESCAMP).
