WNPS Monthly Lecture
The Future of Nature in Sri Lanka
By Dr. Kelum Manamendra-Arachchi
15th June, 6 pm at Jasmine Hall, BMICH

Dr. Kelum Manamendra-Arachchi is well known to conservationists, old and young, not to mention his academic peers, for the volume of work that he has undertaken over the past 40 years. His numerous publications – research papers and books – are invaluable reading for those who wish to learn of modern discoveries in the Zoology of Sri Lanka. He is credited with discovering, and scientifically describing, over 70 species of amphibians, reptiles and mammals of Sri Lanka; including over half of the hitherto known 100+ species of amphibians. That is why this lecture will be delivered primarily in Sinhala, for all to hear and understand, old and young.
