Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne is a wildlife celebrity in Sri Lanka. In the words of British author and television wildlife presenter Bill Oddie, no single individual has done so much to raise the profile of a country for its wildlife as Gehan has done with Sri Lanka. He has authored 15 books and more than 370 articles and broken many internationally significant wildlife stories. He led the branding and commercial development of Sri Lanka for wildlife tourism for many years through direct involvement with the country’s tourism industry. Now living in London, he is currently on the Council of the London Natural History Society (LNHS), and is Chairman of the London Bird Club, one of the sections of the LNHS.
