Resumen
Descripción
There has been a significant reduction in the natural forest cover in Sri Lanka during the recent past. The main causes of this have been clearing of forests for agricultural development, shifting cultivation and settlements. At present, a moratorium has been imposed on all harvesting activities in natural forests in the country until management plans are prepared for them. Preparation of these management plans has been started recently under the ongoing Forest Resources Management Project.
