The Hurulu Forest Reserve in Sri Lanka is a vibrant ecosystem with a diverse range of species. It was named a Biosphere Reserve in 1977. The forest reserve is a vital habitat for Sri Lankan elephants. The species is notable for its migratory behaviour, which occurs primarily during the dry season between the forests that surround the area.
The Hurulu Forest Reserve, Wasgamuwa National Park, Angammedilla National Park, Minneriya National Park, and Kaudulla National Park comprise the vast ecosystem of which the Eco Park is a part. Elephant corridors connect these regions, enabling unrestricted migration of wild elephants. Elephants from these areas congregate in Minneriya and Kaudulla parks during dry spells. On the dry beds of the Minneriya Wewa Reservoir, enormous herds of 100–400 elephants are sometimes spotted.
