Galle: Rainforest City
RRI will launch their Rainforest City programme in Galle with two exciting plantings.
On the eve of the final test match between Sri Lanka and England, Cricketers from both teams will plant ten trees in the newly restored Galle Cricket stadium. To coincide with this event there will also be over 1,000 trees planted in Galle Municipality and the Fort. › Find out more
Amphibian Fauna Project
We have just instituted a project supported by the National Geographic Society, that will look at ways to study our amphibian fauna without destructive sampling. We are hoping that frogs can sing their way to safety.
Forest Garden Program
We have entered into an MOU with Counterpart International to promote and help develop their Forest Garden Program in Sri Lanka. Forest Gardens are being enriched with biodiversity among communities along the Gin Ganga, through the application of Analog Forestry. This activity contributes significantly to the Rainforest Corridor, being constructed by RRI.

Galle Literary Festival
Rainforest Rescue is honoured to be associated with Galle Literary Festival. As well as our "Small World" rainforest experience at Thomas Galle School, we are offering a range of village produced, sustainable forest products and a Carbon
Calculator booth where visitors can calculate (and maybe help offset) the amount of carbon they used to get here.
