Description
The Rainforest Trust of Sri Lanka is now a reality, and dedicated fully to rescuing, conserving, protecting
and restoring your dwindling rainforests in Sri Lanka. However, it can only do so when the
general public - you - accepts its social responsibility for conserving our valued national resources.
The rainforests of Sri Lanka today cover only about 2% of Sri Lanka. They are nevertheless of such significance
that they are regarded internationally as a global Biodiversity Hotspot by many
conservation organisations and a repository for many wonderful plant and animal species. At the same
time, however, reports from IUCN, Future Harvest and Conservation International indicate
serious concern over the future of this vegetative cover.
