    Few years ago this place and the lake used for the supplies water for Galle area. But now Hiyare tank was closed. But we can visit to the inside until lake and learn more thing about biodiversity. This is the best place to visit and very close to Galle.

    Superb Place In 2003 the reservoir and 600 acres of the surrounding low country tropical rainforest was turned over to the Municipal Council of Galle. One part of Hiyare is managed by the Sri Lankan Forest Department and the Wildlife Society of Galle administers the reservoir area. A unique Biodiversity Breeding Centre for endangered species has been established and an Animal Rescue Program, which provides immediate medical and surgical care for injured wildlife, maintains a tropical tree farm to promote reforestation and conducts regular classes to interested parties on the importance of conservation and protecting the biodiversity of Sri Lanka.Hiyare Reservoir Rainforest is a secondary lowland rain forest with a high diversity and endemism of species. There are 55 species of dragonflies, of which 12 are found only in the Hiyare area. 78 butterfly species have been identified with three endemic to this area. Considering its small size, Hiyare contains an amazing number of endemic species. There are over 150 species of fresh water fish, reptiles, amphibians, land snails and mammals making Hiyare home. Out of that number, over 60 are endemic to the 600 acres that comprise the Hiyare Reservoir and Rainforest area. If you include the endemic birds, dragonflies and butterflies, this is one of the highest concentrations of unique species found in one small rainforest anywhere in the world! And more undiscovered species are being found each year
