Welcome to our Forestry News page — your dedicated window into the evolving story of Sri Lanka's forests. This section of our website is where nature meets knowledge, where policy meets people, and where conservation meets community action. Through thoughtfully curated content, this page serves as a hub for insights, updates, and stories about Sri Lanka’s vital forest ecosystems and the efforts underway to protect and preserve them.

Why Forestry News Matters

Forests are more than just a collection of trees — they are living, breathing ecosystems that support an extraordinary diversity of life. In Sri Lanka, forests are deeply woven into the country’s cultural, spiritual, and environmental fabric. From the cloud forests of Horton Plains to the dry zone woodlands of Wilpattu, these landscapes provide clean air, regulate climate, shelter endangered species, and support the livelihoods of local communities.

However, forests are under constant pressure. Encroachment, deforestation, wildfires, invasive species, and the growing effects of climate change all threaten the health and future of our woodlands. That’s why staying informed through reliable forestry news isn’t just important — it’s essential. Our Forestry News page brings these topics into focus, providing a platform to share stories that inform, educate, and inspire action.
