About Me
I was Born In Gampaha, Sri Lanka and was inspired by nature at a very young age. As a high school student, I got actively involved studying and observing wildlife around my home garden and neighboring abandoned cinnamon plantation. This provided me a great laboratory of nature to explore what is out there and understand the behaviors of the animals.
For the high school project I end up studying the butterfly diversity on my neighborhood and final result been the handwritten book about butterflies, subsequently, I got chosen for the young environment symposium held by Department of Forestry and environment studies, University of Sri Jayawardenapura, Sri Lanka in 2001. As a young school boy, I got heavily motivated by the findings presented by the participants.
I began to study photography learn more about wildlife and traveling and finally Left full-time job at IUCN and continued to work as a project based consultant time to time. After almost 6 years I have fulfilled my desires and enjoying my work with the camera and tries to travel as much as I can while being a busy IT Professional.
During the past 6 years, I was able to explore many National Parks, Rainforests and many interesting places here in Sri Lanka. I was fortunate to explore many parts of Malaysia including the great Borneo Island. Birding in Kaeng Krachan National Park (KKC) also gave me great ideas to move forward.
