Having identified the potential to build a solid working relationship with the Urban Fishing Cat Conservation Project, we collaborated on creating awareness materials for their community engagement programs. This partnership resulted in the development of several different materials including mascots for the urban wetlands of Colombo, development of merchandise to contribute towards fundraising, assisting in documenting fieldwork within study sites and an illustrated guide to the urban wetlands of Colombo.

Guidelines for Safely Enjoying Natural Habitats
Use reusable bottles and bags to cut plastic waste. Opt for glass bottles or cans instead of plastic when buying sodas. Say no to plastic straws and bags, and bring a reusable bag when shopping.
Avoid bush-meat like wild boar and venison to prevent harm to wildlife. The methods used for capture are illegal and destructive, often harming unintended animals like leopards and fishing cats in snares.
Respect the animals and their habitat. Allowing our natural environment to remain the way it is with minimal disturbance will only make for better sightings and experiences in the wild.
Follow these guidelines and spread the word to friends and family. Engage with your local community and speak out about environmental issues. Your actions can drive real change—don't hesitate to speak up!
