This holiday directly contributes to the on-the-ground conservation work. While working with our staff and researchers, participants have the opportunity to learn not only about the diverse migrant and resident birds of the Kalpitiya Peninsular, but also to study and learn with local people. The outcomes of this study will be used in the management approach of this area. We believe this census project has a unique opportunity to create long-term sustainable management plan for this area because of the sheer density of species, which exist here along the coast.
As with all the projects that we undertake, the Kalpitiya project will be approached to minimize environmental impact via the small group numbers that we cap our teams at, and our overall environmental ethic, which is to leave no trace behind. Campsites will be managed with this ethic and all efforts will be taken to create minimal waste and disturbance to the surrounding environments and wildlife habitats.
Other projects in the Central Province for the conservation of the endangered Sri Lankan elephant and leopard also offers exciting opportunities for people to get involved in an actual in situ wildlife research, conservation and community development programs.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
