3 II PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. Project Background Sinharaja Forest Reserve is located in the southwest of Sri Lanka at N and E in the southern part of the wet zone. It lies between the tributaries of the Kalu Ganga (in the North) and the Gin Ganga (in the South) and extends within the administrative districts of Galle, Matara and Ratnapura, in the Southern and Sabaragamuwa Provinces. The word Sinharaja means Lion (Sinha) King (raja). This area was declared as a forest reserve in 1875 and as an International Man and the Biosphere Reserve in Subsequently it was declared as a National Heritage Wilderness Area in 1988 and in the following year it was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The extent of the Sinharaja is 11,185 hectares. Sinharaja spreads over an elevation range of 200 to 1,150m above mean sea level. There are about nine prominent peaks ranging from 575m to 1,170m of which the Northeastern peak of Hinipitigala is the highest. The terrain is generally rolling, with a series of ridges and valleys that are crisscrossed by an intricate network of streams, whilst some parts of the Eastern section of the forest consist of plains. The Sinharaja forest is one of the most important watersheds in the island, with several streams draining into the Kalu Ganga and Gin Ganga rivers. Mean annual rainfall varies between mm without a distinct dry period and most of the precipitation records during the south-west monsoon (May-July) and the north-east monsoon (November- January). Mean annual temperature is between C. The vegetation type of Sinharaja consist mainly of primary and secondary tropical Lowland wet evergreen rainforests with a few patches of lowland, montane forest and grassland habitats in areas of higher altitude. Vertical stratification of the vegetation is very clear and can easily be distinguished. The top most layer consists of very tall (over 45 m) emergent trees such as Hora, Boo-hora, Dorana and Dun. The second layer which rises to meters consists of Batu-Na, Atamba, Wal-Del, Liyan, and Nawada whose branches are interlock to form a closed canopy. Dawata, Hedawaka, Kitul, and Walukeena are in the third layer with average height of meters. Below these layers are under story layer (5-20 m), shrub layer (2-4 m) and ground layer (below 1m). There are 337 woody plant species in Sinharaja that include192 endemic species, 30 nationally threatened and 116 globally threatened species. This is the highest number of woody plant species recorded in any single forest in Sri Lanka. Floristics of Sinharaja exhibits the climax or dynamic equilibrium vegetation type where there is no net increase or decrease in the biomass of living organism which is one of the most Page 2 of 20
4 fragile and least resilient ecosystems in the world. It also acts as a repository of the valuable germplasm of plant species whose usefulness and potential human value is yet to be discovered. Sinharaja witnesses the highest range of floristic richness and the highest proportion of endemics among the woody vegetation having the traces of gondwanic flora that have evolved over a long period of geological time scale. Sinharaja provides shelter for a wide variety of animals ranging from slow moving land snails to the charismatic leopard. Over 140 families of fauna are recorded from Sinharaja. There are 19 fish species, 33 amphibians, 71 reptile species, 147 bird species, and 44 mammal species in Sinharaja. About 60% of the country s native birds and all 33 endemic birds including recently discovered SerendibScops Owl can be seen in Sinharaja. One of the most enchanting display of color to be found in Sinharaja is the sight of mixed species foraging bird flocks, a phenomenon found in rain forests. Two endemic species of monkeys, kaluwandura (black monkey) and purple faced leaf monkey can be seen there. Other mammals in Sinharaja include sambur, barking deer, mouse deer, wild boar, golden palm civet, small flying squirrel, fishing cat and rusty spotted cat. A very lucky visitor can get a glimpse of the biggest cat, Sri Lankan leopard (Pantheraparduskotiya), who lives within the deep reaches of the jungle. Around 65 species of butterflies with several endemics, including Ceylon rose, the tree nymph and the common bird wing are found in Sinharaja. There is a wide array of spiders, reptiles, fresh water fish and amphibian fauna in Sinharaja forest Due to scenic, environmental, sociological and cultural resources many local and foreign tourists visit Sinharaja. There are three access point namely as Pitadeniya, Kudawa, and Morningside. Latter mentioned two entry points are situated in Ratnapura district. Kudawa is very famous entry point among tourists. Pitadeniya entry point is only second to Kudawa and analysis of records at Pitadeniya entrance of Sinharaja shows during last few years, around 27,000 visitors have arrived to Sinharaja forest annually. Table 1 shows visitation during last five years to Sinharaja from Pitadeniya entrance. Year Visitor Category Total Foreign Local Table 1: Number of visitors arrived Sinharaja through Pitadeniya entrance. Page 3 of 20
5 However, absence of attractive entry point, inadequate accommodation facilities, poor access roads, problems in interpretation service and less participation of local communities in tourism are the major draw backs of nature based tourism in Sinharaja. Over the past years Forest Department in collaboration with various funding sources have developed number of ecotourism facilities in the area. However, they were not directed by comprehensive ecotourism development plan. Therefore, area covering Sinharaja and its peripheral forest from Matara district is proposed for this ESCAMP to enhance the nature base tourism attract more both local and foreign tourists by providing appropriate facilities. 2. Project Objectives and Results Sinharaja is designated as a MAB reserve and a Natural World Heritage by UNESCO. Further, IUCN has categorized Sinharaja as a protected area. Therefore, management objectives of Sinharaja forest should be aimed to fulfill the objectives of MAB, Natural World Heritage and protected areas. In addition, the management plan should support to meet National Forest Policy objectives and also Millennium Development Goals. The Goal of management is to Conserve Sinharaja forest for posterity, with regard to biodiversity, soil, water, historical, cultural, religious, scientific and aesthetic values and to enhance contribution of forestry to the welfare of nearby communities and to the national economy. Also there are several objectives relevant to Sinharaja management as formulated in management plan as the composition, structure, functions and evolutionary potential of biodiversity conserved, regulatory ecosystem services provided, livelihood of Sinharaja buffer zone communities improved, recreational capacity of Sinharaja forest maintained and enhanced, educational and Research opportunities provided, institutional Structure and legal framework for management of the Sinharaja Forests established. Outcomes 1.1. A comprehensive ecotourism development plan develops 1.2. Well standard nature based tourism facilities and service are established 1.3 Aesthetic value of the forest maintained 1.4 Negative impacts of tourism on natural and socio-cultural environment mitigate 3. Description of Project Activities To accomplice the objective of Enhance and maintained the Nature-based Tourism in Pitadeniya Matara District, followings will be proposed as activities. There is no comprehensive ecotourism development plan for Sinharaja. Therefore, most of the development activities have been carried out in ad hoc manner. Thus, following actions are proposed to develop a systematic ecotourism development plan as in output 1.1 Page 4 of 20
6 1. Study existing tourism activities and issues related to tourism. 2. Prepare an inventory of available tourist attractions and map them. 3. Consult stakeholders (should include visitor surveys). 4. Identify required improvements and developments. 5. Study possibilities for new developments considering potential negative impacts. 6. Identify strategies to improve community participation in ecotourism development. Further, considering the existing facilities for ecotourism, there are several issues such as adequate accommodation facilities, poor appearance of buildings and poor condition of the access roads and so on. Therefore, ecotourism facilities will be improved and new facilities will be developed to address output 1.2. Further, develop guideline to protect scenic areas as well as solution for garbage disposal will be implemented to out put1.3 and 1.4 respectively.

Partnerships Ministry of tourism development & Christian Religious affair, The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority, International and local tour operators, hotel owner, Local authority, Central Environmental Authority, communities, Divisional Secretaries in Kotapola, Neluwa (Gale Dist.), university communities and researchers will engage with this project according to appropriate time. 5. Sustainability of the Project
7 The long-term sustainability of this project can be secured in two ways 1) by ensuring a Statelevel policy on Sinharaja that provides well formal recognition of a PA network of the country and 2) By contributing towards the development of a community-based ecotourism strategy for the State. At local level, community conservation efforts can be sustained through effective ecotourism initiatives and through capacity building. The additional incomes from tourism as well as the various side effects that benefit all the community members prevent a non-sustainable use of the forest and the protected areas 6. Risks to Successful Implementation i. Political Influence ii. Social unrest iii. NGO and Other Organization Influence iv. Noise in construction phase Proper awareness programs will be carried out before the initiation of the project. Conflict resolution will be applied as well as maintain a well coordination with stakeholders in village. Extreme weather/climate events such as storms, drought and floods could hamper the smooth implementation of the project, since access to the sites can be difficult, people might be displaced from their traditional places, and infrastructure may be destroyed. Very little can be done to mitigate these risks. Page 6 of 20
