YZA is entirely run by young volunteers, conducting educational programs with field visits, workshops, exhibitions and seminars on various spheres related to conservation. The exhibition will be opened to the public from 14th to 16th of October at the J. D. A. Perera Gallery, Colombo 7 from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm. Entrance is free.
