Keywords: Ethnobotany, Northern Chin State, Myanmar. INTRODUCTION Human being survives by using the material from his natural environment since human being is evolved on the earth. The plant plays one of the supporting roles on the survival of man from that time to present day. Ever since his appearance on the earth, man used plants as food, medicines, fibres, clothes and shelter, etc. For their basic needs, man obtained from wild plants from flora in his early life, before civilization is appeared. Then man domesticated wild plants to produce the food called agriculture. It has been estimated that about 3,000 species of plants have been used as food by human being throughout history and that about 200 species have been domesticated as food crops. Today plants are not only cultivated for food, but also for other man‟s requirements, such as fibres, latexe and resins, dyes, tannin and drugs, etc.

  • Zauberhaftes Myanmar
    Zauberhaftes Myanmar ERLEBNIS-REISE MIT EXKLUSIV-PROGRAMM Zauberhaftes Myanmar MYANMAR-REISE VOM 27. FEBRUAR BIS 14. MÄRZ 2015 LIEBE gmk-FREUNDE, ich war drei Wochen in Myanmar. Das Land ist atembe- raubend schön, die Leute sind sehr freundlich, freuen sich über westliche Besucher, und auch das Essen ist gut. Diese Ursprünglichkeit wird aber nicht mehr lange so erhalten bleiben, denn durch die Öffnung des Landes strömen viele Menschen nach Myanmar. So werden viele Schiffe kommen, mehr Hotels gebaut werden, und es gibt immer neue Flugge- sellschaften. Die Monate November und Februar sind immer ausgebucht und daher auch nicht zu empfehlen. Ich war An- fang März dort und habe festgestellt, dass die Besucherzahlen zurückgingen. Zusätzlich hat der Februar den Nachteil, dass es in Yangon morgens oft Nebel gibt und es dadurch zu gro- ßen Flugverzögerungen kommt. Ich habe für uns natürlich ein außergewöhnliches Reisepro- gramm mit sehr, sehr vielen Höhepunkten und Sondergeneh- migungen zusammengestellt. Dazu gehört, dass ich das neue Fünf-Sterne-Schiff „Belmond Orcaella“ für uns exklusiv für acht Nächte gebucht habe. Ich wünsche allen viel Spaß beim Lesen der Broschüre und freue mich auf ein Wiedersehen in Myanmar. Mit sonnigen Grüßen Ihr Peter Bürger, Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter 2 ZAUBERHAFTES MYANMAR 1. TAG Textes auf diesen 729 Marmortafeln hat der Pagode auch den Beinamen „Das größte Buch der Welt“ eingebracht. Der Abflug ist am Nachmittag um 14:10 Uhr von Frankfurt Den Abend werden wir im Gartenrestaurant des Hotels nach Bangkok mit der Thai Airways. mit einem Büfett genießen. Und auch die Bar im Hotel ist einen Besuch wert. 2. TAG: MANDALAY Unser Ziel Mandalay liegt in der Mitte von Myanmar am 3.
