Around 1966, Yala Swamp was largely intact, with
very little degradation, but by 1973 destruction of the
Swamp had become more noticeable, particularly in
the north and south-west (next to Lake Kanyaboli);
this included some extensive burn scars, particularly in
the southeast of the Swamp. By 2001, a large section
of the Swamp had been converted to crop farming (as
indicated by the yellow arrows).
