  • Inle Lake Long Term Restoration & Conservation Plan
    Foreword Inle Lake is one of the priority conservation areas in Myanmar due to its unique ecology, historical, religious, cultural, traditional background and natural beauty. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Myanmar and tourism is expected to rise significantly with the opening up of the country. Realization that widespread soil erosion on the mountain ranges flanking Inle Lake could eventually cause problems that would threaten the future existence of the Lake prevailed since late 19th century. Measures were introduced, but were ineffective as they were not developed progressively enough. Several droughts occurred since 1989, but the severe drought that occurred in 2010 was the wakeup call, which brought about serious concerns and recognition that urgent planning and mitigation measures in a comprehensive and integrated manner was imperative, if the Lake was to be saved. Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry (MOECAF) organized a National Workshop in 2011 at Nay Pyi Taw; basic elements required to draw up a Long Term Action Plan were identified and a resolution to formulate a Long Term Restoration and Conservation Plan for Inle Lake was adopted. MOECAF requested UN-Habitat to assist in formulation of the Long Term Restoration and Conservation Plan for Inle Lake and the Royal Norwegian Government kindly provided necessary financial assistance. The Team of experts engaged by UN-Habitat identified the main causes, both natural and human induced, that have impacted adversely on the Lake and its environment. Fall out of climatic variations, irresponsible clearing of soil cover, various forms of change in land use patterns in the Watershed areas caused widespread soil erosion, resulting in heavy loads of sediment entering the main feeder streams and ultimately into the Lake, causing it to become very much smaller in size and shallower in depth.

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.
