Sri Lanka’s forests host diverse flora and fauna, including many endemic species.
FORESTS
Forests harbor a remarkable biodiversity, sustaining a complex web of life. They are home to countless species of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. From towering trees to tiny insects, provide habitat, food, and shelter for a vast array of organisms. This biodiversity contributes to ecosystem stability, resilience, and productivity. Additionally, forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, climate regulation, and water purification. Protecting forest biodiversity is essential for maintaining ecological balance, mitigating climate change, and ensuring the well-being of both wildlife and humans.
