  • Update by Shan Human Rights Foundation May 25, 2017 Coal
    Update by Shan Human Rights Foundation May 25, 2017 Coal mining in Mong Kung threatens vital southern Shan State water source The decision of two mining companies to continue coal excavation in Mong Kung township despite strong local opposition, threatens to block and pollute the headwaters of the Nam Teng river, one of the main waterways in southern Shan State, relied upon by thousands of farmers. The two mining companies, Pyae Aung Hein and Hein Mitter, were given permission by the Naypyidaw government to begin exploring for coal in 2014, at a site about two miles southeast of Mong Kung town. The mining site lies in a watershed near the source of the Nam Teng river, which flows from Mong Kung, through Laikha, Namzarng, Keng Tawng and Lang Kho townships into the Salween River. Aware of the threat to their vital water source, local Mong Kung residents have been strongly opposed to the coal mining since they first heard of the plans. They wrote letters to the companies, local township authorities, the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS), the Forestry Department, the police and the local Burma Army battalion, urging that the mining plans be cancelled. However, in December 2015, the two companies were granted a five-year permit by Naypyidaw to dig for coal in a 200-acre concession area. In January 2017, they began digging. The mining site lies in a forested mountain area with several streams – Nam Huay Hsim, Nam Huay Mar and Nam Kung Lome – which flow into the Nam Khi Sang stream, which flows into the Nam Teng.

  • The Forest Industry of Myanmar in the Second Half of Nineteenth Century
    The Forest Industry of Myanmar in the Second Half of Nineteenth Century Soe Aung1 Abstract After the Second Anglo-Myanmar War, the kingdom of Myanmar lost Lower Myanmar including Bago Province. This loss meant the loss of rich resources of revenue because the paddy cultivation of Lower Myanmar and seaborne trade provided revenue to the royal treasury. Thus, King Mindon sought other sources of income. He practiced the royal monopoly system by which the king became a largest wholesale trader in teak, petroleum, gem stones, cotton, and etc. trade. Particularly the king relied on teak trade. He leased teak forests to foreigners. This paper investigates how the king sold teak forests to the private firms and results of this business. The discussion is also made on the illegal logging of Bombay Burma Trading Corporation in King Thibaw’s reign and its aftermath. Keywords : Seaborne trade, tea trade, royal monopoly system . During monarchical period, kings and people usually extracted teak and other when they built new palace, city and religious moments. In order to extract teak, the king appointed forest officer, forest clerk, overseer, and head of saw-men (ROB IV: 1986, 419). Although the western merchants noticed the value of teak since the time of Nyang-yan dynasty (Dijk, 2006, 88-89), teak and other timber were not included in the important export items until the time of King Mindon. The king used forest as the area where the convicted criminals and those who defied him were sent into exile (ROB IV; 1986, 500, 523, 565, 670, passim). It is surmised that most of the forest areas were left untouched by the kings before the Konbaung Period.
