Description
The Diversity of Horton Plains National Park provides a detailed exploration of the biological richness found within one of Sri Lanka’s most important protected areas. With special emphasis on herpetofauna—the reptiles and amphibians—this work by renowned naturalist Anslem De Silva offers scientific insights into the species composition, distribution, and ecological roles of these creatures.
Horton Plains, situated at high elevation in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, hosts a unique assemblage of flora and fauna adapted to its cool climate and misty environment. The herpetofauna represents a critical component of this ecosystem, including endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. De Silva’s comprehensive study documents these species, their habitats, behaviors, and conservation status, making it an essential reference for wildlife researchers, conservationists, and nature enthusiasts interested in Sri Lankan biodiversity.
