Advocacy and Outreach

WNPS works with very diverse groups of audiences with increased emphasis on Youth and frontline Communities. We hope to inspire lasting change and bring tangible benefits through education, sharing experiences and exposures, leveraging media and social groups, and counting on peer leadership from key social influencers. The society has a very wide range of deeply insightful experts, researchers, field practitioners, photographers, sponsors, scientists and volunteers who engage government, public, rural and marginalized communities, Conservation specialist and international groups to further the cause of conservation. Actions are built on the bedrock of the society’s 125 year impeccable track record of commitment towards conservation in Sri Lanka.
