Summary
| Description |
English: This is a picture of a line of huge trees, composed mainly of "Kumbuk" (Terminalia arjuna) taken close to a man made traditional waterbody called "wewa" in native language, which simply means a tank, close to Eluwankulama area of Sri Lanka. These trees play a significant role in this particular ecosystem as they provide habitats for numerous animal species including fish which make their nurseries among the roots, birds, which roost, rest and nest among the shoots. They are also a key component in the livelihoods of all the animals associated with this ecosystem including humans as they filter the water which people consum, maintain a good fish harvest throughout the year and also by providing shade under the hot sun to enjoy the lunch brought from home for the farmers who work in the paddy fields nourished by the water filtered by these trees. |
