Sinharaja Forest Reserve
The Sinharaja Forest is a tropical rainforest in Sri Lanka that has been designated a World Heritage Site due to its high biodiversity.
The forest covers 11,000 hectares and around 15,000 people live in peripheral villages around the forest. These villagers have been sustainably using this forest for their daily needs for generations. Their people's life, food, folk knowledge and many other things are based on the forest since ancient times.
