Land Use Change Implication for the Use of Other State Forests (OSF) is a simple guiding document prepared based on the comprehensive study carried out by a team covering Mannar and Ampara Districts and identifying the existing situation of the land-use changes in relation to the proposed interventions that are expected with the release of OSF. The document provides evidence to support CEJ’s lobbying for halt to the cancellation of the above circular while stepping on to leverage the advocacy programs to convince relevant authorities and decision-makers in lobbying the sensitive issues with the law and decision-makers for advocating corrective interventions of such ad-hoc decisions which have an irrecoverable loss to the environment and biodiversity in the long run.
