We are committed to the protection of Sri Lanka’s endangered wildlife through conservation research and community engagement.
The Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society (SLWCS) stands out for its unique approach to wildlife conservation by actively involving local communities in every aspect of its work. Its research, conservation, and community programs are designed not only to protect biodiversity but also to deliver tangible benefits to local stakeholders, including employment opportunities and sustainable livelihoods. By integrating community participation into research and conservation efforts, SLWCS ensures long-term project sustainability and fosters local stewardship of natural resources. These programs also offer a rare and rewarding opportunity for individuals passionate about wildlife conservation to engage directly in meaningful fieldwork, making a lasting impact while supporting the society’s ongoing operations.
For over 30 years, our award-winning conservation work has been widely recognized and has earned the praise of notable international bodies.
We offer individuals and families a rare opportunity to work alongside scientists, conservationists, educators, community partners and local villagers deep within the heart of beautiful Sri Lanka. Whether you’re traveling alone or with a group, for fun or for business, our experienced travel partners offer a wide variety of options to meet your needs while helping to support our critical conservation and research work.
