Bambarabotuwa Forest Reserve

This comes under Sabaragamuwa’s Rathnapura Forest range. Despite some heavy logging in the past, this reserve is to be studied more intensively, because its unique location makes it an important catchment area.Unfortunately,the physical features of the overexploited terrain have compelled limits to be placed on the utilization of its resources. Restrictions apart, this reserve contains some area, endemic plants of great medicinal value-the rarest of which is Chirita moonii.
