Take a stand for Wilpattu!

The heart-rending sight of a vulnerable wild piglet near the massive tyres of vehicles rushing past tells Wilpattu’s tale in all its tragedy.​

The Wilpattu National Park, which is Sri Lanka biggest national park is under threat due to the unnecessary construction of two main highways within the park endangering wild life. Facing irreversible destruction we stand to lose this unique park & all it's wild beauty if speedy action is not taken! All wildlife lovers unite to ensure the proper legal protection of this national park.. get informed.. and spread the word..

As Sri Lankans make the right choice for Sri Lanka to keep its natural beauty. Sri Lanka is the best country in the world. And our parks are admired around the world for its nature, wildlife and beauty. So think about it, what would the rest of the world think if we are destroying our own beauty and wildlife for two roads. You have the power to raise more awareness. Do it today.

Leopard, Wilpattu.
