An annual gathering that brings together students, researchers, and conservation enthusiasts to share scientific knowledge, showcase research, and promote the conservation of Sri Lanka’s unique biodiversity.
Citizen Scientists’ Symposium is one of the most distinctive events organized by the Young Zoologists’ Association (YZA), providing a formal academic platform for members, young researchers, and affiliated scientists to present the findings of their studies and field-based research. The symposium encourages knowledge sharing, scientific discussions, and collaboration while highlighting the valuable contributions of citizen science towards biodiversity conservation and environmental research in Sri Lanka.
The Citizen Scientists’ Symposium is conducted with the support of numerous private sector sponsors and partners who contribute towards the success of this initiative.
