All the forest reserves belonging to the Department of Forest Conservation, located in the northern part of Wilpattu National Park, have been declared as a single forest reserve.
Accordingly, Mavillu, Weppal, Karadikkudi, Marichchakatti, Withthikulam and Periyamuruppu have been combined in terms of the Forest conservation Ordinance and President Maithripala Sirisena signed the Gazette Notification today during his visit to Moscow.
The President has advised to take necessary steps to preserve the adjoining forest reserves as well.

May be horse bolted before closing stable door !! Or too lttle too late. Either way it is sad when Malaysia still has over 65% virgin forest cover because they were boomiputhras unlike our poliicians who profess love fo the country to suit their agendas.

When is the church finally moved to another place outside the National Park? It is absolutely irrelevant where people pray to their God. God hears them everywhere.

Sri Lanka has a population of 22Mn and our population density is equivalent to that of India. Still most of our population is engaged in agriculture based employement that required land. It will be very challenging if not impossible to conserves large forest cover. Highest priority shall be given to provide basic needs of the people while conserving the nature.

Ai least our present President took action to stop further destruction of our forest cover. What did MR's government do.? Ignored all abuses for political patronage.
