According to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, Bundala National Park is the first wetland in Sri Lanka to be designated a Ramsar site. This thorny scrub forest, with its beaches, dunes, and lagoons, lies 250 kilometers south of Colombo in the Hambantota district. It is well-known for its diverse biodiversity. It is a well-liked reserve for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts due to its 197 different bird species and 32 distinct animal species. In reality, because of the vast numbers of Greater Flamingos that migrate there from Siberia and the Rann of Kutch in India, Bundala National Park is regarded as a specialist destination for birdwatchers. Between August and April, the Greater Flamingos come to Bundala, where up to 2000 of them have been recorded at one time. Other animals that may be seen in Bundala National Park include a small group of elephants, wild boar, sambar, spotted deer, and grey langur monkeys.
