Sri Lanka’s natural heritage continues to reflect the importance of responsible environmental stewardship, and one such treasure, the Ambuluwawa Biodiversity Complex, is now the focus of a significant national initiative.
Recognizing both the ecological and recreational value of this remarkable site, the Institute of Environmental Professionals Sri Lanka (IEPSL) is launching a comprehensive biodiversity and recreational value assessment, in collaboration with the Ambuluwawa Religious Centre and Biodiversity Complex Trust Fund, and with generous support from Ansell Lanka (Pvt) Ltd as the official sponsor.
This important study, commenced on 20th June 2025, aims to evaluate Ambuluwawa’s biodiversity richness and tourism impact, while promoting sustainable visitation.
A team of environmental scientists and conservation professionals from IEPSL along with invited subject matter experts, conducted an initial field exploration and stakeholder visit on the same day, marking the formal start of the project.
