About SriWild & credits

SriWild is a free, trilingual encyclopedia of Sri Lanka’s wildlife — written for students, travellers, naturalists and everyone who shares the island with these animals.

Where the information comes from

• Species lists: research-grade observations inside Sri Lanka from iNaturalist, checked and edited by our editors.
• Conservation status: the IUCN Red List (global) and the National Red List of Sri Lanka where we have it.
• Text: written by SriWild editors; some summaries come from Wikipedia in English, Sinhala and Tamil under the CC BY-SA licence and are credited on each page.
• Photos and sounds: Wikimedia Commons, each credited to its author under its own free licence, plus photos visitors share through Sightings.
• Maps: © OpenStreetMap contributors. Park pins are approximate centres, not boundaries.
