Bandura Kalawana Bungalow is situated in Kalawana, about 30 minutes drive from Sinharaja World Heritage Rainforest, well outside it's buffer zone. The owners have taken decent steps towards Habitat Loss Prevention and promoting Native Vegetation within it's property. Bandura Kalawana Bungalow needs to do better Trash Pollution Control, Recycling and Composting to reduce plastic and non bio-degradable items. It also needs to do better on controlling light pollution to not disturb native fauna at night. No history of supporting Bio-Diversity Conservation projects.

Habitat Loss has been reduced by preserving as much of the existing trees on the property during the construction.

Native trees are present on the property. However, there is opportunity for increasing the native vegetation cover on the property.

While noise pollution is controlled to a certain level due to limited visitors on property light pollution is high.

To date, Bandura Kalawana Eco Lodge has not been active in supporting Bio-Diversity Conservation Projects in the surrounding area. Due to the close proximity to Rainforests and many large Estate land and Rivers flowing close by, there is ample opportunity to initiate Bio-Diversity conservation projects to help native species as well as educate the locals to protect the habitat.
