Runakanda Rain Forest /රූණකන්ද වැසි වනාන්තරය

Runakanda Rain Forest is one of the law land rain forests of Sri Lanka and a part of Sinharaja Forest. It It is being home to birds, insects, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and more. This is our day visit to Runakanda Rain Forest.

Glimpse of Runakanda – Pic Journey 11…

Ok, back to Runakanda. This is a part of Sinharaja actually but is now being proposed as a separate Forest Reserve. I hope this will get legalized soon as we’re fast losing our forest areas. Even Runakanda like many wet zone rain forests have been ravaged by the Walla Patta Hunters. According to villagers many outsider had come in gangs and stayed inside the forest living in makeshift shelters or caves chopping down Walla Patta trees and making loads of money. The FD and Police are in high alert even though the damage has already been done thus the reason why you shouldn’t venture into these areas on your own.

We heard that the FD is now distributing Walla Patta plants for commercial planting where they help with the chemicals to produce that specific bit of residue after 5 years. At the age of 8, the tree is good to cut down and harvest. Hopefully these will put a stop to the destruction of our virgin forests.
