We participate in this Programme as part of the co-ordinated efforts around the world to care the Sri Lankan leopards and breed them. To enhance genetic diversity the species, the Programme Co-ordinator, a role undertaken by a selected zoo, make recommendations for specific individuals to be exchanged among participating zoos. In other words, the Programme Co-ordinator plays the role of a match-maker !
