SITUATION ANALYSIS 1. The goal of this project is to support the achievement of global environmental benefits and the protection of the global environment through community and local solutions that work in harmony with national and global action. To that end, the objective of this project is to enable community-based organizations to take collective action for adaptive landscape management for socio-ecological resilience through design, implementation, and evaluation of grant projects for global environmental benefits and sustainable development in three ecologically sensitive landscapes: the Knuckles Conservation Forest and its buffer zone, the coastal region from Mannar Island to Jaffna, and the Colombo Wetlands. This will be carried out through participatory, multi-stakeholder, landscape management using the COMDEKS landscape planning and management approach 1. The proposed interventions are aimed at enhancing social and ecological resilience through community-based, community-driven projects to conserve biodiversity, optimize ecosystem services, manage land (particularly agro-ecosystems) and water sustainably, and mitigate climate change. 2. The three pilots will build on experience and lessons learned from previous SGP operational phases, and lessons learned from the COMDEKS Programme, to assist community-based organizations in carrying out and

    Floristic Richness and the Conservation Value of Tropical Montane Cloud Forests of Dothalugala Man and Biosphere Reserve, Sri Lanka

Sci.) 42 (2): 55-70, 2013 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4038/cjsbs.v42i2.6609 Floristic Richness and the Conservation Value of Tropical Montane Cloud Forests of Dothalugala Man and Biosphere Reserve, Sri Lanka E.

Perera1, 3 1Postgraduate Institute of Science, University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. 2Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. 3Department of Botany, University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Accepted December 28, 2013. ABSTRACT Plant species in Tropical Montane Cloud Forests (TMCFs) of Dothalugala Man and Biosphere (MAB) Reserve were recorded in twenty six 10 x 15 m2 experimental plots, aiming to reveal the total species richness and the richness of endemic and threatened flowering plant species in the forest canopy and the understory and, to find out the impacts of cardamom cultivation on the plant diversity of the study area. One hundred and forty eight plant species (77 tree, 46 shrub, 24 climber and one herbaceous species) belonging to 106 plant genera and 55 plant families have been found from the area examined. A high percentage endemicity of plant species (50%) was revealed in this site due to the presence of 74 (38 tree, 29 shrub, 6 climber and one hebaceous) species endemic to Sri Lanka. Similarly, 68 out of all plant species (45.9%) and 47 out of all endemic plant species (63.5%) in these forests were either globally or nationally threatened. The endemic and ‘Critically Endangered’ Stemonoporus affinis (Dipterocarpaceae) was also found to be thrive in the area.
