🎧 Listen to Introduction

Sinharaja, located in southwestern Sri Lanka, is the country’s last remaining intact tropical rainforest. More than 60% of the trees are endemic, many of which are considered rare. There is a wealth of endemic wildlife, especially birds, but the reserve is also home to more than 50% of Sri Lanka’s endemic mammal and butterfly species, as well as a wide variety of insects, reptiles and rare amphibians.
