It is home to over 50% of Sri Lanka’s endemic species of trees and woody climbers, as well as a multitude of endemic wildlife, including birds, butterflies, amphibians, and reptiles. Among the forest’s avian residents, the Sri Lankan Blue Magpie, the Green-billed Coucal, and the Red-faced Malkoha are a few of the spectacular species that birdwatchers are eager to spot.
