Wildlife circle is a club functioning under the Department of Zoology, the Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura. The club was initiated in the year 2016. Though it is new to the university environment, it conducted various projects during these few years.
The fauna inhabiting the planet earth is experiencing drastic declines in abundance, occurrence and distribution. While many species facing the risk of extinction, many species have already gone extinct. Therefore, with the purpose of conserving nature for the future generations, the Wildlife Circle of USJP acts actively with the objectives of,
- Taking meaningful actions regarding conservation of fauna.
- Expanding knowledge of members on areas of Wildlife
- Helping students/employers to cope with stress of studying/working by indulging in activities of the club.
- Helping to develop harmony among student members of the local Universities and external members, by being the forum for members from different occupations, faculties, schools, cultures and academic programmes to act together as a team.
- Promotion of Wildlife photographic ability among members.
Under the Department of Zoology students are able to do their duty to mother nature and planet earth by providing their maximum contribution to the conservation of animal species through joining hands with us.
