Wrangell-St Elias National Park in Alaska, Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, Kakadu National Park in Australia and Jasper National Park in Canada are the top five national parks as ranked by Yogerst in this book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38392 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/z_p3-National1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"377\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">\u201cYala National Park tends to really fly under the radar, but it\u2019s one of the world\u2019s most diverse national parks. It\u2019s primarily known for wildlife, especially leopards and elephants. But the park also has terrific beaches, ancient rock temples that are still active places of worship, and a choice of lodges or camping for overnight stays. There aren\u2019t many places on the planet where you can safari drive in the morning and surf in the afternoon,\u201d Yogerst said in his book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">Marasinghe referred to Yogerst\u2019s ranking of national parks while making the opening remarks at the \u2018Wildlanka International Symposium 2019\u2019 organised by the Wildlife Conservation Department at Waters Edge on\u00a0Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">The two-day symposium themed \u2018Innovation for Conservation\u2019 was attended by wildlife enthusiasts, researchers and officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">\u201cIn the local sphere, our achievements are hardly recognised, but in the international sphere we were talked about,\u201d he said, also pointing out that all six proposals the Sri Lankan delegation presented at the recently-concluded \u2018World Wildlife Conference 2019\u2019 (CITES CoP18) in Geneva obtained positive votes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">\u201cThe contribution of the Sri Lankan delegation at the CITES, which I was proud to be a part of, was admired by many. We presented the proposed \u2018eCITES\u2019 platform about to be launched\u00a0next month\u00a0to facilitate the CITES information-permitting system. Even the US delegation was interested,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">He said the Wildlife Department has always been keen to embrace technology in all aspects of its work, adding that it adopted geo-informatics, remote sensing and video technology for work before many other institutions did. \u201cNow we explore new technology in the human\u2013elephant conflict mitigation efforts too,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">\u201cOur field officers are blamed for not being present at several places at the same time and our senior officers are blamed for not allowing land for other uses and not protecting the reserves at the same time. People expect us to have the cake and eat it at the same time and we are quite used to this attitude now,\u201d he remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">Tourism Development, Wildlife and Christian Religious Affairs Minister John Amaratunga who took part in the event as the chief guest congratulated the Sri Lankan delegation to the CITES conference for their remarkable performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">He added that a scientific approach is needed for conservation of wildlife as the successive governments depend on it to boost tourism income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800080;\">Ministry Secretary S. Hettiarachchi speaking at the Symposium said the Ministry hopes to improve the facilities in the national parks for those who are willing to undertake research. \u201cThe Committee on Public Accounts (COPA) of Parliament emphasised the importance of facilitating more research related to this field during our last session. Taking this recommendation into consideration, we plan to develop wildlife research activities. For that we will improve facilities in the national parks to undertake research, obtain practical knowledge, and collect data,\u201d he noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &#8220;PARKS &amp; GARDENS&#8221; \u2013 By Des Kelly There are many, around the World, but to have &#8220;YALA&#8221; ranked as the sixth best, in the World, is &#8220;something else&#8221;, again.
