Located in the southwestern region of Sri Lanka, it’s the country’s last active primary tropical rainforest. Over half of the trees are native to this region, many of which are regarded as rare. The reserve houses a significant amount of endemic wildlife, notably the bird population. In addition, the reserve serves as a habitat for over half of Sri Lanka’s indigenous species of mammals, butterflies, alongside numerous kinds of insects, reptiles, and rare amphibians.

Spanning 8,864 hectares, the reserve’s altitude varies between 300 and 1,170 meters. Sri Lanka is home to 830 indigenous species, with 217 of these being trees and woody climbers found in the lowland wet zone. Of this number, 139 (representing 64%) have been spotted within the reserve, including 16 rare species. Bird endemism is particularly high, with 19 (or 95%) of the 20 species recorded here being native to Sri Lanka. Also, more than half of all mammal and butterfly species are endemic.
