Make conservation a habit and not an activity, through selfless dedication to the cause of environment and to instill the message in the hearts of the community.
The Young Zoologists’ Association of Sri Lanka (YZA) is a non-governmental, non-profit, voluntary youth organization based at the National Zoological Gardens at Dehiwala, Sri Lanka.
The core value of the organization is to protect and conserve the environment by making a conscious effort in educating the community in Sri Lanka. Conservation for nature and wildlife through awareness programs is a priority for the organization.
