Message from the Country Representative of IUCN Sri Lanka In the year 2004, after a lapse of nearly two decades, The World Conservation Union (IUCN), in collaboration with the Biodiversity Secretariat of the Ministry of Environment organized a series of national workshops on the status of fauna in Sri Lanka. The intention of organizing these workshops was to upgrade and disseminate the knowledge pertaining to taxonomy, ecology and research on the fauna of the island through presentations made by eminent scientists and naturalists, based on recent research. Since a wealth of information was presented at these workshops, IUCN recognized the need to compile this valuable knowledge and information into a single comprehensive publication, which could be used by a variety of stakeholders, including policy makers, protected area managers, researchers, conservation biologists, environmentalists and students. Most of the scientists who presented papers at these national workshops came forward voluntarily to write up full papers on their research in relation to taxonomy, ecology and the conservation of fauna in Sri Lanka. Thus, this publication includes updated information on all groups of inland vertebrate fauna, selected groups of inland invertebrate fauna and selected groups of marine fauna. We wish to thank all the scientists and naturalists who contributed towards this publication and sincerely acknowledge the group of peer reviewers that included Sri Lankan and foreign scientists who assisted us to review each paper in order to enhance the technical quality of this publication. We sincerely hope that this publication would be used by various stakeholders for the conservation of fauna in Sri Lanka.
