Unquestionably,
it is one of the world's most magical natural habitats. But the island
that mesmerized travellers from time immemorial is rapidly losing its
crowning glory.
Today, Sri Lanka's coveted showcase of bio-diversity is being mutilated beyond imagination. At this rate of destruction, it is only a matter of time when the small Indian ocean island, hailed by the world as its garden of Eden turns into a monumental disaster. This beautiful island is gifted with some of nature's most incredible facets, most rare or endemic.
Nicely tucked away in this heaven of bio-diversity within touching distance are rain-forests, sandy beaches, tropical landscapes and chilly and misty mountains; a rare spectacle, if not unique. Serendib, Ceylon, Eden or whatever name you want to call it, Sri Lanka is a miracle of mother nature and MUST be saved for the whole world.

Sri Lanka is a small tropical island in the Indian Ocean with a land extent of about 65,000 square kms. What makes the island unique is its amazing spread of bio-diversity, contrasting climatic conditions and land mass, all within a short drive from one geographical zone to another.
The island features a mountainous area in the south-central parts rising to an elevation of 2524 meters from sea level. Over a hundred rivers begin from the wet mountainous zone and meander through lush green hills, rain forests, intermediary zone and finally dry zone, flowing into the Indian ocean from different points of the island’s vast coastal belt.
