f nER F R v^o C tFn 0 N L Y

The Directory of Environmental Expertise in Sri Lanka, is the first of a series of directories to be published by the CEA, under the assistance of the N O R A D . It is my view that the information in this directory will be useful to everyone concerned about environment, particularly to those who wish to exchange ideas and v i e w s * with others having similar interests. This directory was prepared, on the basis of survey conducted in the early part of 1990. Perhaps, there may be certain omissions and shortcomings in this directory. The experts on environmentally related subjects, whether included in this directory or not, are kindly requested to inform the CEA of any changes or forward such details, in order that this information could be updated and incorporated in the revised directory to be published in the near future.

The Central Environmental Authority places on record the invaluable contribution made by Mr. Tilak Hewawasam, former Director (Planning) CEA in making this directory a success. The CEA expresses its sincere appreciation to the N O R A D for funding the publication of this directory.
