Archbishop of Colombo, His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith says that if the ecosystem is protected, the country’s water resources will become a major source of income for the country in the future. “Our country is being deforested on a large scale by now. It has to stop and the government should take necessary steps to formulate a programme to protect forests in accordance with the Constitution itself. Laws should be enacted to severely punish those who destroy the flora in this country. If the ecosystem of the country could be protected by doing so, our water resources would be in great demand, in future world water shortages” the Cardinal said.
