Sri Lanka war zone becomes wildlife sanctuary
Sri Lanka is turning a vast area of jungle, earlier a base for Tamil Tiger rebels, into a wildlife sanctuary.
The government said the former war zone, spread over 40,000 hectares in Mullaitivu in northern Sri Lanka, would be used for wildlife conservation.
The area was the scene of heavy fighting during the final stages of Sri Lanka's bloody civil war 18 months ago.
