This document sets the strategic approach to ensure that Sri Lanka's biodiversity is conserved and used in a sustainable manner. It notably seeks to increase forest cover and shield the country's biodiversity from the adverse effects of climate change.

This action plan intends to highlight the importance of preserving such sites for the benefit of the future generations as well as for the use of science where fossils, sub fossils and artefacts have become the backbone of predictions of the climate and the reasons for extinction of species.

The hope is that this field guide, along with its companion, volume 1, will be useful resources for snorkelers, divers, and all those interested in marine life in expanding their knowledge on identification of species found in the reef habitats of Sri Lanka. 

Mangroves for the Future (MFF) is a partnership-based regional initiative promoting investments in coastal ecosystems that support sustainable development. This booklet documents selected MFF Small Grants Facility Phase 2 projects, implemented in Sri Lanka, with emphasis on the sharing of good

Sri Lanka’s biodiversity is significantly important both in a regional and global scale. Sri Lanka has the highest species density (number of species present per 10,000 sq. km) for flowering plants, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals in the Asian region. The currently recognized statistics of the

Invasive alien species (IAS) are considered to be a main and a direct driver of biodiversity loss across the globe, and Sri Lanka is not an exception. These IAS have been estimated to cost our economies enormously every year and is a major threat to sustainable development. All alien species will

A study was conducted in Periya-kalapuva, Palakuda, Potuvil lagoon wetland system and immediate surrounding area in the coastal zone of Ampara disttrict in order to document the biodiversity profile (basic structure, composition and functions) of the area for facilitating resuorce management. The
