WNPS is proud to announce that they will be sponsoring outfits for DWC field-officers at selected Protected Areas. This sponsorship was made possible by the generous donation of Mercantile Investments who contributed significantly towards the project along with support from MAS Holdings, BAM Holdings and many other well-wishers. The field outfits will be distributed to about 55 officers before the end of July 2021. We are indebted to our DWC field officers who do so much on the ground to protect Sri Lanka’s precious flora and fauna and risk their life and limb to do so.
WNPS is delighted to announce that D.L. & F. De Saram has come onboard as one of the main sponsors of the Dung Beetle Project. D.L. & F. De Saram is one of Sri Lanka’s oldest law firms, offering a wide range of legal services for individuals, corporate, domestic, and international clients.
