A coalition for
the canopy.
The Urban Biodiversity Alliance is a Sri Lankan civic-science initiative. We bridge the critical gap between academic ecology and grassroots community action.
Our growing network includes university researchers, urban planners, and citizen scientists working together to map, protect, and restore the secondary forests, wetlands and nature corridors hidden within our cities.
