#Kavanthissa, Sri Lanka’s most celebrated wild #tusker, died after weeks of treatment for a suspected gunshot wound. Questions remain over the injury, veterinary care, monitoring failures — and why the alleged shooter is still free. #elephant #wildlife #srilanka #poaching

Once common in Sri Lankan home gardens, Daminna (දමින්න) was a childhood favorite. Today, urbanization & habitat fragmentation are making this native #wildfruit increasingly rare. Let’s not allow #Daminna to disappear from #SriLanka. RainforestProtectorsTrust.or… #SriLankaTravel #tree

Sri Lankan Birdwing (Troides darsius) — our national butterfly. Found in wet zone rainforests such as #Sinharaja, it depends on native vines for its life cycle. Protecting rainforests protects the butterfly, its host plants. RainforestProtectorsTrust.or… #srilanka #butterflies #nature

Mist rising from the river is more than beauty — it’s a biodiverse system storing carbon, protecting watersheds, and sheltering species that keep the forest alive. Conserving land protects the biodiversity that protects us. RainforestProtectorsTrust.or… #mistymorning #conservation
