As a natural extension of Project Leopard, the Foundation continued to support Cinnamon Wild, Yala in its leopard research project in Yala. The project, which is conducted in partnership with renowned Sri Lankan scientists and international experts, is a comprehensive research program aimed at studying the Sri Lankan leopard, its distribution at Yala, dietary habits, territories, adaptability to new land use outside the national park and the impact of leopards on cattle farmers. The project also includes mapping the individual leopards in Yala and its environs. The first phase of the initiative is expected to conclude by September 2014. Thereafter, the research team together with the Cinnamon Wild staff will hold a public workshop sharing the learnings among interested segments of society, while the Cinnamon Nature Trails team is planning to conduct a 3 day public workshop to highlight the work and the learnings.
