About Udawalawe National Park
Udawalawe National Park is a national park on the boundary of Uva and Sabaragamuwa Provinces in Sri Lanka. The park was created to provide a sanctuary for wild animals displaced by the construction of the Udawalawe Reservoir on the Walawe River, as well as to protect the catchment of the reservoir. The reserve covers 30,821 hectares (119.00 mi2) of land area and was established on 30 June 1972. Before the designation of the national park, the area was used for shifting cultivation (chena farming).
