CENS

The Centre for Environment and Nature Studies (CENS) was initiated in 1998 as an idea of the late environmentalist Piyal Parakrama. Since 1998 it is operational in Sri Lanka as a leading NGO in the environmental front, spearheading many environmental activities and research. In 1999 it launched a training course in environmental conservation and natural resources management. This course is conducted annually and has contributed immensely in disseminating environmental knowledge across the country.
