Abstract
Preliminary fossil pollen data suggest that the globally significant Ramsar wetland site, Bundala National Park, located on the southeastern coast of Sri Lanka, has excellent potential for analysing radiocarbondated palynological records to understand the broad changes in the past environment. Changes in mangrove and monsoon forests appear to have been link with changes in sea level, monsoonal climate, and human activities. Pollen records of mangrove and lowland rainforests dating back to the late Pleistocene (30,000-33,000yrs BP) were well preserved in the sediment cores recovered from Lagoons in Bundala National Park.
