Sri Lanka has always been well known for its high level of
biodiversity and wildlife. It is rated as one of the world’s 34 biodiversity
hot spots (Conservation International) and has the distinction of having
established possibly the world’s earliest wild life reserves, when King
Devanapiyatissa created a sanctuary in 3rd century BC, in the south of the
country (Yala), where animals would be protected.
Sri Lanka has
currently 22 National Parks, which account for approximately 12 % of the land
area of the entire country.These parks, and the rest of the country, harbour an
astonishing range of fauna and flora, many of them endemic to Sri Lanka. This
includes over 4,000 species of flowering plants, 245 species of butterfly, 85
species of freshwater fish, 207 species of reptiles, 108 species of amphibians,
492 species of birds, 95 terrestrial species of mammals and several thousand
invertebrates.
In addition, Sri Lanka boasts a wide and unique range of
wild animal spectacles. It is the only place in the world that one can see the
largest mammals, the whale, and elephant together in one single country. It has
the world’s largest gathering of Asian elephants at Minneriya, the largest
concentration of leopards in the world in the area of Yala and is one of the
best places in the world to see blue whales, off the coast of Mirrisa in the
deep south.
