Install an interpretive sign at Diyasaru Park explaining Colombo's Wetland City status

Few visitors to Diyasaru Park know Colombo holds Ramsar Wetland City accreditation or why the park matters for the city's flood defense. A simple interpretive sign at the park entrance builds public understanding and support for the wetlands. Standard: UN-Habitat safer-cities public-space guidance + SDG 11.7. Proof: Photo of installed, legible interpretive sign Method (UN-Habitat safer-cities public-space guidance + SDG 11.7.): 1. Confirm placement with the park's host or steward contact. 2. Prepare the sign with clear, accurate wetland and flood-buffering information. 3. Mount the sign securely at the park entrance at eye level. 4. Check the sign is legible and stable. 5. Photograph the installed sign with GPS and date as proof. Done when: Photo of installed, legible interpretive sign

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
