FOREST MANAGEMENT IN MYANMAR

Abstract

Earth's plants, animals and humans- interacting with one another and with the physical environment in ecosystems- form the foundation of sustainable development. The steady erosion of forests and species will undermine progress toward a sustainable society. Myanmar holds more than half of mainland Southeast Asia's forests and is the fifth largest log exporter in the world. She is also believed to be home of second largest population of tigers and elephants in Asia. The Forest Policy, silviculture system, deforestation, nature conservation laws and the implementation of international Agreements that Myanmar has acceded or ratified are looked into in this study report.
