Mission: One million wild life enthusiasts
The A1 size poster on the Butterflies of Sri Lanka and South India,
now out, complements a series of posters and booklets on the Butterflies
of Sri Lanka, and is complete with beautiful colour images of the
different species, with names given in Latin, English, Sinhala and
Tamil.

The photographs are by Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne, the CEO of Jetwing
Eco Holidays, who along with Jetwing and the tourism industry is on a
mission to create one million wildlife enthusiasts in Sri Lanka by the
year 2025. Free downloads of the poster in a pdf format is available at
www.jetwingeco.com.
The poster is useful for school children as it will be an easy way of
introducing them to the many different varieties of butterflies in their
surroundings. Its captivating and attractive colours make it ideal for
use as a wall poster.
The poster comes pre-folded in an A4 size so that it can easily be
added to a book collection on the shelf or carried around in a backpack.
However, it opens up into an A1 size (equal to eight sheets of A4) and
so can easily be used in the field to identify the different species of
butterflies and skippers.
This poster will help in butterfly conservation, as the more educated
the public is about butterflies, the more they will realize their
importance. Children can hang the poster in their bedrooms, and it can
even be displayed in an office environment.
It shows in beautiful detail the variety and abundance of wildlife in
the country. |
