Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka, commonly abbreviated FOGSL, is the Sri Lankan affiliate of BirdLife International. It was founded in 1976 to promote the conservation of birds and preservation of the environment. The group is based in the department of zoology of the University of Colombo and Dr Dewaka Weerakoon is its current president. ==Activities and events==
Identifying and proposing Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Sri Lanka is one of the main activities of the group.〔 This project has now entered its second phase, conducting studies to evaluate the biodiversity of proposed 70 IBAs.〔 Conducting research on some selected endemic birds, the Sri Lanka blue magpie and spot-winged thrush, is another activity of the group. Following the events of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, FOGSL provided some direct humanitarian assistance. The group helped in wetland restoration, rebuilding schools, and coastal land-use planning. National bird ringing programmes conducted in Bundala National Park concentrate on studies on migratory birds and the wetlands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National bird ringing programme )〕 The Field Ornithology Group intends to extend the research to other sites on the migration route and to develop a web database. From 2008, Field Ornithology Group conducts a bird count in December in the lines of Christmas Bird Count by the National Audubon Society of the United States. Sri Lanka's location at the tip of the Indian subcontinent has made the island a termination point in the North-South bird migratory route. Organizing a bird education exhibition to promote awareness among general public is one of the annual programmes of the group. This commemorates the late P. B. Karunathna, who was a leading naturalist in the country and one of the founding members of the society.
