With diverse habitats, the island fosters a unique avian biodiversity, making it a haven for birdwatching enthusiasts and conservation efforts.
特有鸟类
斯里兰卡是34种特有鸟类的家园。岛上记录的鸟类总数为492种,其中219种为繁殖的常住鸟类。BirdLife International将斯里兰卡认定为世界的特有鸟类区域(EBA)之一。特有物种的数量多次发生变化。这主要是由于“精确的分类修订”。特有物种的数量从最少的20种到最多的47种不等。自1977年以来,这个数字稳定在大约21种。1990年,随着增加了两种新物种,数字提高到了23种。从那时起,许多权威机构接受了这个数字。Wijesinghe在1994年发布了《斯里兰卡鸟类名录》,其中考虑了再加入三种物种,但由于其理由与严格的分类学实践不符,这一举措没有得到广泛认可。随后的关于斯里兰卡和南亚地区的鸟类出版物并未将这三种物种列为特有物种。然而,在一些斯里兰卡圈子里,Wijesinghe提出的特有物种被认为是可以接受的。这可能是由于过度热衷于增加特有物种的数量,以创造更好的鸟类学形象并增加对商业鸟类观察的需求。
