Climate change in Sri Lanka

ශ්‍රී ලංකාව  භූමි ප්‍රමාණයකින් යුතු biodiversity hotspot එකක් ලෙස සැලකෙන සමකාසන්න දිවයිනකි. පක්ෂි විශේෂ 480 ක් (ආවේණික 25) සහ උභයජීවී විශේෂ 121 ක් (ආවේණික 88) මෙම දිවයින සතු වේ (Lepage, D., 2018; Sri Lanka checklist, 2018). දේශගුණික විපර්යාස මෙහි hyperdiversity කෙරෙහි හානිදායක ලෙස බලපායි.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ අතීතයේ පැවති වැසි වනාන්තර භූමි ප්‍රමාණයෙන් 95% කට අධික ප්‍රමාණයක් තේ වගාව ව්‍යාප්ත කිරීම සඳහාත් ජනාවාස ඉදිකිරීම සඳහාත් විනාශ වී ඇත. එය ගෝලීය උෂ්ණත්වය ඉහල යාමට දායක වී ඇති අතර ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ තෙත් කලාපය තුල ජල උල්පත් විනාශ වී යාමටද හේතුකාරක වී ඇත.
