LIFE TO OUR MANGROVES

Biodiversity Sri Lanka launched the “Life to our Mangroves” project on February 08th partnering Citizens Development Business Finance PLC to conserve mangroves in the Anawilundawa Sanctuary. The project will enhance the resilience and renewal of the mangrove eco- system, while generating socio-economic development in the surrounding communities.

The Sanctuary, one of Sri Lanka’s six RAMSAR wetlands spans 1,397 hectares and encompasses forest wetlands, including mangroves, coastal saltwater eco-systems and freshwater lakes housing numerous endangered species of fish, amphibians, mammals, reptiles and birds.
