Seylan Bank and Cinnamon Nature Trails Spotlight Conservation Through ‘The Impossible Shot’

Where passion meets preservation — storytelling through the lens of the wild.

In collaboration with Cinnamon Nature Trails and Cinnamon Hotels, Seylan Banks hosted The Impossible Shot—an inspiring evening of wildlife photography and conservation advocacy—featuring acclaimed British photographer Paul Goldstein. Held at Cinnamon Life, the event showcased breathtaking nature moments and underscored the urgent need for environmental preservation.

Goldstein, renowned for his evocative storytelling and four-decade career spanning all seven continents, captivated the audience with his visual narratives and conservation insights. Adding a local perspective, Chitral Jayatilake, Cinnamon Nature Trails’ Vice President and a renowned Sri Lankan conservationist, presented Chasing a Dream, delving into the challenges of wildlife photography in Sri Lanka. Seylan Bank reaffirmed its commitment to eco-conscious initiatives and announced future events like Gathering of the Giants to further conservation awareness.

This shared vision between Seylan Bank and Cinnamon Nature Trails reflects a broader commitment across the Cinnamon brand to sustainable travel and wildlife education—values echoed in experiences offered at properties like Kandy Myst by Cinnamon, one of the thoughtfully curated 4 star hotels in Kandy, Sri Lanka that connects travellers to the island’s rich biodiversity.
