For over a century, the Sri Lanka Natural History Society has created spaces for deeper understanding of the natural world, not just through observation, but through knowledge.
Today's lecture turns the spotlight on one of Sri Lanka's most overlooked yet essential forms of biodiversity. Although often unnoticed, insects play a vital role in pollination, nutrient cycling, biological control, and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Understanding their importance helps us better appreciate the delicate balance that sustains life on our island.
Through Steuart Senehasa, we are proud to support the Sri Lanka Natural History Society in continuing this long-standing platform for learning, dialogue, and deeper appreciation of Sri Lanka's natural heritage.
Join us today for "Insects: The Almost Forgotten Biodiversity of Sri Lanka and its Importance" by Dr. Nirmalie Pallewatta, and discover why protecting even the smallest forms of life is essential to preserving the ecosystems we all depend on.
