Today (21st of March) is the International Day of Forests. Other than the usual birds, the family of Purple-faced Leaf Monkey that lives in our area could be spotted giving special meaning for the day. This monkey family consist of a father, mother and a young monkey. Most of the days, they visited the highest leafless tree at the bank of Kolonnawa Canal giving me a straight look from the balcony of our residence. Primarily being forest species, these Monkeys give a very big fight for survival on fast changing land use patterns in the area. These 3 could be the last of the monkeys that will ever live in this area and I wish them long peaceful life on International Forest Day this year..!!
