Hon. Ranil Wickremasinghe, Prime Minister of Sri Lanka: To ensure that Dr. Sumith Pilapitiya remains as the DG of Dept of Wildlife
Those who are tirelessly striving to protect the environment
or Sri Lanka and conserve its wildlife are extremely concerned that Dr. Sumith
Pilapitiya, recently appointed as the Director General of Wildlife Conservation
has tendered his resignation. His appointment
was widely acclaimed as he was acknowledged as a person of integrity and has
performed his official duties according to the law. His appointment also came
after a period of controversy.
We appeal to you to please ensure that Dr. Sumith Pilapitiya
remains as the Director General of the Department
of Wildlife Conservation thereby enabling the protection of our remaining heritage
– the magnificent fauna and flora of Sri
Lanka.
