Sri Lanka, known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, is a scenic continental island with rich biodiversity. Given its ancestry that could be traced to the Gondwanaland, Sri Lanka considered not only one of the richest areas in biodiversity, but one of the world’s hottest biodiversity hotspot as well. The high degree of endemism seen among the wild fauna of Sri Lanka ought to be regarded as a world heritage that needs to be conserved.Take action! Protect endemic animals in Sri Lanka

How to sustain sustainability?

I started crafting this website in 2006, out of sheer passion in ecology and wildlife conservation developed growing up in a rural mountainous setting. As a college student, this effort required a certain tenacity since I did not own a camera or a personal computer at the time. THANKS to everyone who helped me out.
