Sri Lanka has agreed to join the International Big Cat Alliance, according to a list of outcomes released following the visit of Jagdeep Dhankhar.
The announcement was included among several bilateral outcomes issued on April 19 after discussions between Sri Lanka and India.
The International Big Cat Alliance is an initiative led by India aimed at the conservation and protection of seven major big cat species worldwide, including the tiger, lion, leopard, snow leopard, cheetah, jaguar, and puma.
Sri Lanka’s decision to join the alliance reflects a commitment to strengthening cooperation with India in areas such as wildlife conservation, environmental protection, and biodiversity preservation.
The move was announced alongside several other India-supported initiatives in Sri Lanka, including projects related to housing, healthcare, railway rehabilitation, scholarships, and broader development assistance.
