The Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society (SLWCS) in collaboration with the Zoologists Association of the University of Peradeniya has launched a series of posters on the wildlife of Sri Lanka and SLWCS has developed over 20 bi-lingual posters based on SLWCS work. The topics range from Human-Elephant Conflict to Agriculture and Development, from Wetlands to Highlands and dry zone forests, from simple village programs to technological research and innovation.
Available Topics
- Mammals of Sri Lanka
- Snakes of Sri Lanka
- Human Elephant Conflict (seperate titles on mitigation, prevention methods, causes and death rates)
- Habitat Types
- Agroforestry, Eco-Agriculture and Nursery Management
- SLWCS Projects and sites
Mammals and Snakes
Snake poster is out of print. Reprints available on request.
The first in the series is a set of posters on the MAMMALS of SRI LANKA. Each poster has information on the behavior, distribution and characteristics of each species, along with the common and scientific names in Sinhalese and English. The second poster is in Sinhala on the Snakes of Sri Lanka and gives safety information.
All the posters are available for individuals to purchase or for corporates to sponsor and print with their information.
The Posters are available for sale at Rs. 200 each and Rs. 350 for a set of 2 posters at the SLWCS Colombo HQ, at 38 Auburn Side, Dehiwala (opposite Arpico on the sea side and open 24h). For those who are interested they can also browse an extensive library on Sri Lankan related natural history and scientific publications. The posters are also available at the Zoologists' Association office in the Dept. of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Peradeniya.
Calendars
Additionally we have developed a series of calendars (desktop or for hanging on the wall).
The posters and calendars are exquisitely produced with the most current and accurate scientific information and spectacular photographs. The calendars while they are very attractive are also an invaluable public education and awareness building tool. We are looking for corporate sponsors for both our posters and calendar series. Details on the calendars are annexed below and we are seeking your sponsorship to publish them. If you need additional information about the posters and calendars or how these publications can be customized to suite your company’s public outreach and promotional programs please let us know.
