‘Protect Nature’ is their motto and based at the National Zoological Gardens, Dehiwala, they make the most of the opportunity to learn about animals. YZA is run by young volunteers who conduct educational programmes with field visits, workshops, exhibitions and seminars on various spheres related to conservation.
