Green Gold: The Discovery of Sri Lanka’s Biodiversity by Dr. Rohan Pethiyagoda

The idea of exploration for its own sake is associated very much with Western culture. The Sinhala word for this pursuit—gaveshanaya, literally 'to search for cattle' - is evidence of this. While ancient Sri Lankans had names for every useful plant and animal, there was little thirst to discover every single species there is, to describe it, and to give it a name.

Eminent biodiversity scientist, author, and conservationist Dr. Rohan Pethityagoda’s latest research publication Green Gold: The Discovery of Sri Lanka’s Biodiversity was launched ceremoniously on 7 November at Genesis, Colombo 10 – the innovative hub of Dilmah. The event was attended by the Chairman of Dilmah Tea, Dilhan Fernando, university professors, researchers, environmentalists, other guests, and the media.

“In the morning you need something energetic, bright and bold, and that's where the breakfast tea comes in. As the day wears on, maybe green tea with mint, particularly with a meal. Mint is fantastic for digestion. The antioxidants in tea give you a lift and, in the evening, there's nothing like an Earl Grey with a hint of vanilla and maybe a hint of gin if you've had a bad day.”
