  • Sustainability Benefit Assessment As a Financing Mechanism for Urban Wetland Protection
    To MSc Programme in Urban Management and Development Rotterdam, The Netherlands September 2014 Thesis Title: Sustainability benefit assessment as a financing mechanism for urban wetland protection Shweta Raghaw Supervisor: Somesh Sharma Specialization: Urban Environment Management UMD 10 MASTER’S PROGRAMME IN URBAN MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (October 2013 – September 2014) Sustainability Benefit Assessment as a financing mechanism for urban wetland protection Shweta Raghaw India Supervisor: Somesh Sharma UMD 10 Report number: 689 Rotterdam, September 2014 Sustainability Benefit Assessment as a financing mechanism for urban wetland protection ii Summary Wetlands face threat from increasing urbanisation. With increasing population, the pressure on natural wetlands, to be used for more economically beneficial purposes, is very high. In order to protect the urban wetlands, financial resources are required which are often not sufficiently available with the government. Alternative sources of finance can be identified, especially from the private sector. However, since wetlands are not very productive in the ‘economic’ terms, it is difficult to generate funds for their protection. The research consists of identification of sustainability benefits of Beddagana Wetlands in Colombo to demonstrate the methodology of SBA and further making use of this assessment to test the feasibility of finance for urban wetlands. The main objective of the research is to explain that to what extent, and in which form, visibility of sustainability benefits can help to make wetland conservation attractive for finance. Previous researches have been instrumental in forming the basis of this research. The theoretical background helped in identifying concepts within the overall purview of ecosystem services, wetland conservation and financing mechanisms for ecosystem preservation.

Sri Lanka packs an extraordinary variety of places to visit within its modest physical dimensions, and few islands of comparable size can boast a natural environment of such beauty and diversity. Lapped by the Indian Ocean, the coast is fringed with idyllic – and often refreshingly undeveloped – beaches, while the interior boasts a compelling variety of landscapes ranging from wildlife-rich lowland jungles, home to extensive populations of elephants, leopards and rare endemic bird species, to the misty heights of the hill country, swathed in immaculately manicured tea plantations.

  • Attractions Around Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel, Colombo
    Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka is a vibrant, compact and interesting city, rich in culture, history and heritage. It has a long history as a port on ancient east-west trade routes, ruled successively by the Portuguese, Dutch and British. That heritage is reflected in its spicy cuisine as well as its architecture, mixing colonial buildings with high-rises and shopping malls. The city traffic, however, is a little unruly sometimes, and the best way to get around the chaos, is by taking a tuk tuk. The three-wheeled taxis, fondly known by locals as ‘tuk-tuk’ for the sound of their sputtering little engines, are notoriously fast, easy to park, and can manoeuver through the tiny streets of this compact city with ease, making it a great way to experience Colombo’s disorderly charm. There is so much to see and do! ATTRACTIONS AROUND CINNAMON LAKESIDE HOTEL, COLOMBO PETTAH BAZZAR Pettah Bazzar is a treasure cove with everything you could imagine from clothes, shoes, electronics, and stationery to glassware; it is a one-stop-shop where everything goes cheap by the bulk price. A trip to Colombo will be incomplete without the Pettah experience but walking down the jam-packed streets in the sweltering heat can take the fun out of this delightful place. THE OLD TOWN HALL MUSEUM: The Old Town Hall Museum which sits at the end of the Main street in Pettah is home to some rather quirky pieces of heavy machinery and better still, creepily disintegrating wax figures of the old town council members.
