History
Madhuganga (Sri Lanka)
There is a river called Madhu Ganga in Sri Lanka also. The main source of income for the locals of the Madu Ganga (River) region is the cinnamon industry. The fresh cinnamon is brought here to be peeled. Together with the smaller Randombe lake, with which the Madu Ganga is connected by two narrow canals, it forms the Madu Ganga wetland area. Its mouth and the many mangrove islands is a complex coastal wetland ecosystem. It has a high ecological, biological and aesthetic importance, home to 303 species of plants from 95 families and 248 species of vertebrate. It could be one of the last remaining tracts of unspoiled mangrove forests in Sri Lanka.[1]
