Rainforest Concern

Sri Lanka

Rainforest Rescue International and Rainforest Concern partnership

Rainforest Rescue International was set up in 2002 after 5 years of collaboration with Rainforest Concern to initiate a programme to conserve, protect and rebuild the rainforests of Sri Lanka by creating a buffer zone and corridor project around the 2 largest remaining rainforest patches of Sri Lanka, the Sinharaja and Kanneliya Forest Reserves. Since then, it has set up an indigenous tree nursery, built an Education Centre for school children, purchased 6.4 acres of land adjacent to Kanneliya for the proposed hiniduma Forest Reserve, begun a programme of reforestation for this land, and much more.
