ER Pitch

Thambapanni or the Land of coppery sands are synonyms for our island Sri Lanka. 💛
As the name suggests, sand is a natural resource that has a deep connection with the history of our country.

Professor Deepthi Wickramasinghe was a speaker at the ‘Equity, Ecosystems and Scarcity- The Global Sand crisis and Infrastructure (Infrastructure and Nature Coalition)’ event organized by the IUCN World Conservation Congress and provided an elaborate insight on managing the demand and the sustainable use of sand natural resource in infrastructure. 🏘️

As members of Professor Wickramasinghe’s lab, the ER Pitch, we extend our congratulations to Professor Deepthi Wickramasinghe for representing the Faculty of Science, University of Colombo and for the successful and insightful talk! 👏
