Ecology is the study of the working of ecosystem, of the behavioural in interdependences of different kinds of organisms with respect to one another and their nonbiotic environment. Cultural ecology is the systemic study of the relationship between the environment and society. Therefore, cultural ecology is the study of the ways in which culture is used by people to adapt to their environment. The aims of this study are to be able to link the natural environmental factors with socio-cultural system of the people in Gangaw Township and to explore the socio- cultural stability, modernity and education in the study area. Specific objectives include to elicit information on how the environmental changes and cultural ways of life are interrelated in the study area, to identify the adaptive strategies of the local people in the study area on the environmental changes and to make recommendations as regards how the positive aspect of indigenous culture should be maintained. It was a Case Study performed at five study villages in Gangaw township. Data collection methods included the design of Ethnographic research, like qualitative research depending on the specific objectives of this study to correlate the documented data. The study villages are Shon Shi, Zahaw, Taung Kin Yan, Myauk Kin Yan and Kyaw villages which are situated in Gangaw township. The study took place from June 2008 to April 2012.

The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014 and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is my hope that the main census results will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and Offices at all administrative levels and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census.

Executive Summary 1.1 The main purpose of this report is to update on the situation in Myanmar with regard to measures taken for the implementation of the UNCCD at the national level since its submission of the first national report in August 2000. 1.2 Myanmar acceded to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in January 1997. Even before Myanmar’s accession to UNCCD, measures relating to combating desertification have been taken at the local and national levels. In 1994, the Ministry of Forestry (MOF) launched a 3-year "Greening Project for the Nine Critical Districts" of Sagaing, Magway and Mandalay Divisions in the Dry Zone. This was later extended to 13 districts with the creation of new department, the Dry Zone Greening Department (DZGD) in 1997. 1.3 The Government has stepped up its efforts on preventing land degradation and combating desertification in recent years. The most significant effort is the rural area development programme envisaged in the current Third Short-Term Five-Year Plan (2001-2002 to 2005-2006).
