Guide to Bundala : a guide to the biodiversity of Bundala national park, a Ramsar wetland in Sri Lanka

In 1990, the Bundala lagoons of Sri Lanka became the country’s first Ramsar site – a wetland of international importance for migratory waterfowl. In 1992, Bundala was upgraded to a National Park. This guide to the habitats, animals and plant species currently present in Bundala National Park stems from a survey on the status of the park’s biodiversity conducted by IUCN’s Country Office in Sri Lanka. It is hoped that this guide will raise awareness of this important protected area.
