IDENTIFYING CONSERVATION ISSUES IN NORTHERN MYANMAR (BURMA)

Dr Tint Lwin Thaung (Forest Conservation Coordinator (Asia-Pacific), The

Nature Conservancy Indo-Pacific Resource Centre)

Tuesday 13 November 2007, 12.30-1.30pm
Seminar Room B, Coombs Building, ANU

Abstract
Kachin State in northern Myanmar is home to many biological hotspots, 
including subtropical moist forests, hill forests, alpine meadows and
broadleaf and conifer forests (Olson and Dinerstein 1998). Global 
Witness (2005) recently reported considerable unease about the scale
of illegal forest activities in Kachin State. Kahrl et al. (2004) 
analysed the China-Myanmar timber trade and its implications for forests
and
livelihoods in Myanmar's Kachin State and the Yunnan Province of China. 
They found that China's demand for timber was an underlying
cause for the unsustainable harvest of valuable forests in Kachin State.

Unsustainable logging was discussed comprehensively in the above
mentioned
studies, but the views of local stakeholders from Kachin State were not 
thoroughly considered. This chapter seeks to understand the
views of local stakeholders in regard to natural resource conservation 
issues.

Bio
Tint Lwin Thaung, a native of Burma/Myanmar, was trained as a forester, 
natural resource manager and restoration ecologist in Burma, Thailand
and
Australia. He has worked on natural resource conservation and community 
development in Burma/Myanmar and Australia for 20 years. From 1993 to
1997, he worked for the Wildlife Conservation Service in Myanmar. He is 
dedicated to promoting conservation and development assistance in Burma/
Myanmar and to providing training opportunities for younger generations 
from Myanmar. He has degrees in Forestry from Rangoon University
(1985), a Masters degree in Natural Resources from the Asian Institute 
of Technology, Bangkok (1992), and a PhD from the University of
Queensland
(2002). He currently lives in Australia. He has published numerous 
articles on conservation based on fieldwork undertaken in Myanmar.
