[1] 3. Vice Chancellor’s Review I am pleased to write this massage for the 2010 Annual Report of the Uva Wellassa University which has shown a tremendous progress as a techno-premiership university. During the year 2010, the University has continued to be driven by the mission in the pursuit of the vision to be the centre of excellence for value addition to national resource base. The student number enrolled in 11 degree programmes increased beyond 1500 for the first time in the short history of the university. The academic cadre was also strengthened through new appointments. The first batch of students who entered the university in academic year 2005/2006 completed their degree during this year. The infrastructure development activities also continued during the year 2010 with ongoing constructions of Lecture Hall/Laboratory, Block E and Workshop Complex of Stage 1 while initiating the work of Stage 2 for the construction of Lecture Hall / Laboratory Complex D. The major constraint for the infrastructure development as per the Master Plan prepared and adopted by the university is the landslides occurred during the latter part of 2010. Limited fund allocation available had to be utilized for remedial work and necessary adjustments. All in all, the year 2010 has been a very productive and successful year driving our vision towards reality. I thank everybody who contributed

    International Union for Conservation of Nature IIUUCCNN Commission Members from Sri Lanka Volume I – (Updated on 15.06.2015) IUCN Commission Members from Sri Lanka Message from IUCN National Committee Chair One of the IUCN strengths is to bring ecosystem related information, science and advise into the sustainable development processes. In that context IUCN Sri Lanka has contributed in the past towards a number of national policy and on the ground efforts. At a time post- conflict development in Sri Lanka is advancing fast with potential increase of the pressure on the natural resources. Management of the natural capital in a sustainable way while supporting development is a major challenge where information based multi-sector approaches are very much needed. Already the IUCN developed information on biodiversity, marine and coastal and water resources etc. are being used by the Government, Non-Government and Private Sector, extensively. However Sri Lanka has not fully utilized the potential contribution of IUCN Commissions and its membership. As the new Chairperson of the IUCN National Council, I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the contributions by the IUCN Commissions and Commission members in ensuring this planet a better place for us and the generations to come. Looking forward to work with you more and hope this compendium of experts will be helpful for all and expand to include other Sri Lankan experts as well. Anura Sathurusinghe, Conservator General of Forests and Chairperson, IUCN National Committee 2 IUCN Commission Members from Sri Lanka Forward This directory is prepared for the first time to capture the information on IUCN Sri Lanka related entities.
