Excellent
video!
Ø A celebration of Sri
Lanka's magnificent highlands.
Ø Nurturing
environmental awareness to preserve Sri Lanka's unique natural heritage.
Just
imagine that in the 1980s SL Govt. bureaucrats from the Dept. of Agriculture,
the Livestock Development Board and the Dept. of Wild Life were engaged in a
fierce debate about utilization of Horton Plains for growing potatoes, raising
dairy cows or making the place a national park.
In
the 1970s, the Socialist Govt. contemplated opening a plywood factory by
Sinharaja forest to harvest the timber.
Did
these people ever understand what a “National Heritage” was?
