Furthermore, WCSG has actively engaged in addressing several environmentally sensitive social issues using a scientific approach. Our efforts aim to resolve these problems with minimal environmental and socio-economic damage while maximizing a win-win situation for both the affected society and the environment.

At present, WCSG owns three Research and Education Centers/facilities. The Environmental Research and Education Center in Hiyare, Galle established as the organization’s base in 2007. This facility is utilized for conducting wildlife and environmental research, along with education and awareness programs designed for school children, university students, and the general public. In 2012, a wildlife hospital was established at the same facility with the primary objectives of rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing sick and injured wild animals back into their natural habitats. In 2017, WCSG established its second asset, the “Sinharaja Base Camp”, a dormitory-type accommodation facility established at the proximity of the Lankagama Entrance of the Sinharaja World Heritage Site, in order to promote ecotourism, while increasing the sustainability of the Society. In 2021, another wildlife research center was established in a private land owned by WCSG, at the border of Morningside Proposed Reserve, the Eastern Sinharaja Range, in order to conduct research and conservation efforts aimed at preserving the precious and unique ecosystem of the Eastern Sinharaja.
