Multi-dimensional nature of conservation to the fore
View(s):At a time when biodiversity loss is accelerating and environmental pressures are intensifying, the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS) brings the realities of conservation to the forefront with its Nations Trust WNPS Lecture this May.
Sriyan De Silva Wijeyeratne, Prof. Sampath Seneviratne, Revan Weerasinghe, Keshan Perera, Riaz Cader, Chamindri Liyanage, Deshika Sooriyakumari and Nadil Subasinghe will present the lecture titled, ‘Conservation in Action: Driving Impact’ – Hill Country to Courtrooms—Science, Community and the Next Generation in Action – on Thursday, May 21 at 6 p.m. at the Jasmine Hall, BMICH.
The speakers bring together expertise across science, law, and community engagement, reflecting the multi-dimensional nature of conservation today as the lecture aims to move beyond discussion into action—offering a clear view of the science, legal intervention, and community engagement shaping conservation outcomes across the country.
The lecture highlights work across multiple fronts, with particular focus on Sri Lanka’s montane ecosystems—among the most fragile and least recoverable landscapes in the country. WNPS’ long-term efforts through its PLANT initiative in this region now include the establishment of nearly 75 kilometres of ecological corridors, alongside sustained conservation work within plantation landscapes through its leopard conservation initiatives. Together, these efforts reflect a coordinated approach to restoring connectivity, protecting biodiversity, and enabling coexistence within working landscapes.
