Colombo (News 1st); Multiple groups have started to rally around Bhagya Abeyratne, who spoke out against the destruction taking place to the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
Activists have condemned the harassment of Abeyratne who has become the center of an investigation by the authorities, and claim the authorities are more focused on her comments rather than taking action against environmental destruction and deforestation.
On Wednesday (17) the Socialist Youth Union staged a silent protest in Colombo opposite the Human Rights Commission demanding an investigation for violating the rights of Bhagya Abeyratne.

Sri Lanka’s budding biologists get their science on with iNaturalist
by Malaka Rodrigo on 11 March 2021
iNaturalist, a global citizen science platform where users collaborate to identify uploaded photos of fauna and flora, saw its observations from Sri Lanka hit the 50,000 mark, the second-highest in South Asia and 14th in Asia.
Sri Lanka’s first observation was uploaded in 2011, but it was only in the past two years that a significant increase in observations were recorded, with more young naturalists getting involved in the global initiative.
The country’s iNaturalist observations have already led to the identification of a range of overlooked species, proving the tool’s successful use in processing field observations.
