	Climate Change and Global Warming

	The climate is changing. The earth is warming up, and there is now overwhelming scientific consensus that it is happening, and human- induced with global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystem to adapt naturally are diminishing. Many are agreed that Climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions, and /or increasing extremities in weather patterns. The FWC doing many programs to aware people and minimize climate change and global warming

	Biodiversity Conservation

	The variety of life on earth, its biological diversity is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The biodiversity conservation programme has historically formed the core business of the institution globally and also locally. The following are the objectives of the biodiversity programme of FWC supporting and developing cutting-edge conservation science, conducting management an policy oriented field research projects, linking both research and result to influence national policy on conservation and, developing partnerships with government institutions, civil society and the private sector.FWC is currently engaged in a number of nationally significant biodiversity related work.

Livelihoods & Environmental Economy

“Livelihoods and Environmental Economy” is an approach to poverty reduction that seeks to enable the rural poor to expand their economic opportunities while sustaining and enhancing forest and other biological resources. By working together, a shared understanding of the value of forest for improving local livelihood can be built, with a view to influencing policies that can reduce poverty and conserve forests. The livelihood and environmental economy programme of FWC takes up the challenge to improve poor people’s livelihood by sustainable use of biodiversity while advancing good environmental stewardship.

Wetland Conservation

The Ramsar Convention has defined wetlands as follows: “Areas of marsh, fen, peat land or water, Whether natural or artificial, Permanent or temporary with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt Including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six meters”. All wetlands comprise of a combination of soils, water, plants and animals. The interplay between these elements allows wetlands to perform several functions that are beneficial to humankind, while generating healthy wildlife, fisheries and forest resources. The support for the conservation of national wetland programs in Sri Lanka , FWC play an important role in the work.

Marine, Coastal Conservation and Management

The biodiversity of the sea and adjoining coastal zone, the interaction and functions of marine organisms, their behavior and peculiarities still remain to be understood. Out of a total of 33 animal phyla, a staggering 32 are found in the sea. The South and Southeast Asia region in particular displays one of the highest level of coastal and marine biodiversity in the world, the programme’s activity have been broadly divided into five core themes: Marine Protected Areas, Species, Sustainable use, Critical Ecosystems and Integrated Coastal zone Management.FWC (MCCM) team has supported to the many national level initiatives.

Eco tourism development

Eco tourism is the responsible travel, to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well being of local people. By that it avoids negative impacts that can damage or destroy the integrity of the natural environment through awareness.
Economic benefits from tourism should be distributed among the local people around the protected area, government and park agencies. Through income generation Eco tourism can provide improved health care and education to the local communities, as well as employment in the tourism industry.

Environmental Awareness

The FWC programme seeks to increase awareness and understanding of environmental issues at all levels of society. Especially important is conveying the critical role of sound natural resource management in sustaining well being and rural livelihoods. Our programme is developing and translating key reference materials on conservation and bio diversity. Couple of awareness programs seeks to build capacity within the governmental, private and community sectors by regularly supplying informational material from its reference collection for use in meeting workshops, and strategic documents.
