A rapid field assessment to document general ecological aspects of Kapurella thermal spring (7 0 38.02' N 81 0 25 .08' E) in Mahaoya was conducted in April 2015. Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method was used to document macro fauna and flora in different habitat types. Results show that the thermal marsh is characterized and dominated by soft-stemmed herbaceous vegetation (0.5 m-3.0 m) tolerant to heated and saturated soil water conditions. Altogether, 18 species of macrophytic plants and 38 species of animals (dragonflies, butterflies, birds and mammals) were found to be in association with the thermal habitat. Interventions for added conservation efforts for sustaining the thermal habitat with natural features have been suggested on account of ecological uniqueness, poor biological understanding and ongoing anthropogenic impacts.
