In Sri Lanka, extreme weather conditions such as extended droughts and monsoons have led to increased incidence of flooding and landslides. Sri Lanka’s forests, lakes, rivers, and functioning ecosystems which have survived over millennia are under stress from unsustainable human activities. Sri Lanka has one of the highest recorded rates of primary forest destruction in the world. It is now more important than ever before to protect Sri Lanka’s environment as well as her rich biodiversity. Get involved if you too believe we should stand together to protect Sri Lanka’s forests, wildlife and biodiversity.
