📜 The beginning of coffee cultivation in Sri Lanka

The history of Ceylon Coffee is longer than that of Ceylon Tea, which is a popular name around the world today.

📅 Coffee was introduced to Sri Lanka by the Arabs in 1503.

⚠️ In 1870, coffee cultivation was destroyed due to the spread of Coffee Rust disease.

🦠 Coffee Rust (Hemileia vastatrix) has spread for the first time in Sri Lanka.

💡 British botanist Harry Marshall Ward found  that the disease is spread by wind. To avoid this, he advised to grow different types of coffee.

👉 Later most of the farmers shifted to rubber and tea plantations.

They also help regulate the planet's temperature. The ocean is a shelter for various aquatic species like whales, sharks, ornamental fishes. And the five oceans of the world are the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Antarctic Ocean. "World Ocean Day" falls on June 8 every year to protect our oceans. Billions of pounds of trash and other pollutants enter the ocean every year.  Some debris ends up on our beaches, washing up with the waves and tides.  Some debris sinks.
