Two of the country’s
famous wildlife sanctuaries were reopened on Saturday after years of
closure.Wildlife Conservation Department director Ananda Wijesuriya
said the two sites - Kumana, a bird sanctuary and a main eco-tourism
attraction and Lahugala, a wildlife park/ sanctuary reserve, were now
open to the public.
They had been closed for tourists since 2005 after security forces
commenced their final battle against terrorists.
"After the end of the war we received security clearance," Wijesuriya
said.
