Welcome to the
EcoFocus Sri Lanka Blog!

Sri Lanka’s forests are more than scenic landscapes – they are vital ecosystems that sustain biodiversity, regulate water systems, and combat climate change. This International Day of Forests, we explore why protecting these natural treasures is essential for the country’s environmental and economic future.

Seagrass meadows may cover just a fraction of the ocean floor, but their impact is immense. Found along Sri Lanka’s coasts from lagoons to offshore waters, these underwater flowering plants support fisheries, protect shorelines, store vast amounts of carbon, and sustain endangered species such as dugongs and sea turtles. As climate pressures and coastal development intensify, understanding and conserving Sri Lanka’s seagrass ecosystems has never been more urgent.
