Walankanda is a mountainous rainforest located adjacent to the world heritage site Sinharaja rainforest and part of the Rakwana massif. Walankanda is currently facing fragmentation due to tea plantations and urban development. “Forest connect” represents our attempt to reconnect the isolated forest patches by developing eco bridges and reforestation. The Walankanda range reaches elevations of 1000+m, with unexplored areas thriving in biodiversity. Being a part of the major inselbergs of the island, Rakwana massif has unique radiation of endemic fauna and we have identified that the faunal diversity of this area is poorly studied. Our mission is to make a connection again between the forests to create a continued natural habitat for the animals.
