BACKGROUND AND PURPO SE OF TRAINING Myanmar is a place of exceptional significance for its potential contribution to marine biodiversity and ecosystem service conservation. However, over recent times, impacts from human activities such as overfishing, dynamite fishing, land conversion, and pollution have had rapid and widespread negative impacts on marine ecosystems. This is especially true in the Myeik Archipelago (MA), where more than 800 islands are recognized as a Key Biodiversity Area of global importance. There is urgent need to curtail these threats and at the same time move quickly to protect sites of high ecological value. Establishing an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management and developing a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) are critical management tools in this regard. To this end FFI has been undertaking a programme of data collection, consultation, planning and capacity raising in conjunction with government agencies and universities in Myanmar. Following on from a national workshop on MPA establishment (August 2017) and a suggested blueprint for the development of an MPA network in the MA1, this training course was conceived to develop further understanding of MPAs in Myanmar amongst government officials and university personnel (see Appendix I for course participants). The overall goal of this course was to assist in building towards establishment of an MPA network in Myanmar, and specifically in the MA. This was accomplished primarily through creation of a knowledge base amongst participants of international best practice and by examining and discussing the process for MPA establishment in Myanmar. Specific objectives were to: 1. Build understanding and capacity for improved marine conservation in the MA, for all participants. 2. Discuss and further develop policy aspects of MPA network establishment in Myanmar 3. Provide a catalyst for creation of an MPA network in the MA. 4. Further assist the government of Myanmar to fulfill its international treaty and national policy objectives. 5. Refine suggested processes for MPA creation in the MA. 1 Dearden, P. (2016).

COURSE CONTENTS The course was organized around three key components. The first established the reason why we need to implement improved ocean management at both the international and national levels, and finished with a discussion on marine trends in Myanmar. The second component focused on policy needs and content and established a knowledge base on which participants could draw to make informed contributions to discussion on the third component, the process for MPA establishment in Myanmar. This policy component reviewed international best practice in MPA legislation and policy and compared this to the situation in Myanmar. In particular, best practices in site selection and system planning, stakeholder consultation, governance and institutional arrangements, MPA management and tourism were described and discussed. These two first components provided the platform for informed discussion on the process for MPA establishment that could be followed in the MA and particularly helped focus attention on appropriate stakeholder involvement. A more detailed outline of the contents is given below and the power points for each session are provided in Appendix II. Day 1 – Why do we need MPAs? 1.

Report familiarity FFI commissioned a report2 that identified many of the challenges and necessary steps to be taken to establish a network of MPAS in the MA. However, the success of such a strategy is highly dependent upon effective consultation with all affected stakeholders including the government agencies who will be responsible for implementation. The TC included discussion of the main elements and recommendations of the report in order to provide greater understanding of the rationale for recommendations and to facilitate involvement of affected stakeholders. b. Familiarity with the National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan (NBSAP) There was considerable discussion of the Government of Myanmar’s official policy on biodiversity conservation3 and hence a wider range of understanding about international agreements, Myanmar commitments and the ways in which course participants

  • PA) PROFILES LENYA LANDSCAPE (“R2R Lenya”, Aka Lenya Proposed Protected Area, Which Is Currently Lenya Reserved Forest
    ANNEX 11: Lenya Profile LANDSCAPE / SEASCAPE AND PROTECTED AREA (PA) PROFILES LENYA LANDSCAPE (“R2R Lenya”, aka Lenya Proposed Protected Area, which is currently Lenya Reserved Forest) Legend for this map of Lenya Landscape is provided at the end of this annex. I. Baseline landscape context 1. 1 Defining the landscape: Lenya Landscape occupies the upper Lenya River Basin in Kawthaung District, and comprises the Lenya Proposed National Park (LPNP), which was announced in 2002 for the protection of Gurney’s pitta and other globally and nationally important species, all of which still remain (see below). The LPNP borders align with those of the Lenya Reserve Forest (RF) under which the land is currently classified, however its status as an RF has to date not afforded it the protection from encroachment and other destructive activities to protect the HCVs it includes. The Lenya Proposed National Park encompasses an area of 183,279ha directly south of the Myeik-Kawthaung district border, with the Lenya Proposed National Park Extension boundary to the north, the Parchan Reserve Forest to the south and the Thai border to the east. The site is located approximately 260km south of the regional capital of Dawei and between 20-30km east of the nearest administrative town of Bokpyin. Communities are known to reside within the LPNP area as well as on its immediate boundaries across the LPNP. Some small settled areas can be found in the far south-east, along the Thai border, where heavy encroachment by smallholder agriculture can also be found and where returning Myanmar migrants to Thailand may soon settle; Karen villages which have resettled (following the signing of a peace treaty between the Karen National Union (KNU) and the Myanmar government) on land along the Lenya River extending into the west of LPNP; and in the far north where a significant number of hamlets (in addition to the Yadanapon village) have developed in recent years along the the Yadanapon road from Lenya village to Thailand.

  • Return Assessments - Tanintharyi Region Myanmar South East Operation - UNHCR Hpa-An 31 August 2014
    Return Assessments - Tanintharyi Region Myanmar South East Operation - UNHCR Hpa-An 31 August 2014 Background information Since June 2013, UNHCR has been piloting a system to assess spontaneous returns in the Southeast of Myanmar, a process that may start in the absence of an organized Voluntary Repatriation operation. Total Assessments 71 A verified return village, therefore, is a village where UNHCR field staff have confirmed there are refugees and/or IDPs who have returned since January 2012 with the intention of remaining Verified Return Villages permanently. During the assessments, communities are also asked whether their village is a refugee 26 village of origin, by definition a village that is home to people residing in a refugee camp in Thailand. A village where UNHCR completes an assessment can be both a verified return village and a refugee Refugee Villages of Origin 37 village of origin, as the two are not mutually exclusive. Using a “do no harm” approach based around community level discussion, the return assessment collect information about the patterns and needs of returnees in the Southeast. The project does not, however, attempt to represent the total number of returnees in a state, or the region as a whole. The returnee monitoring project has been underway in Kayah State, Mon State and Tanintharyi Region since June 2013, and expanded to Kayin State in December 2013.

  • Contributions to the Flora of Myanmar Ii: New Records of Eight Woody Species from Tanintharyi Region, Southern Myanmar
    NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM SOC. 63(1): 47–56, 2018 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FLORA OF MYANMAR II: NEW RECORDS OF EIGHT WOODY SPECIES FROM TANINTHARYI REGION, SOUTHERN MYANMAR Shuichiro Tagane1,2*, Nobuyuki Tanaka3, Mu Mu Aung4, Akiyo Naiki5 and Tetsukazu Yahara1 ABSTRACT The fieldwork carried out in Tanintharyi Region in 2016 resulted in the discovery of eight unrecorded angiosperms among the flora of Myanmar. They are Mitrephora winitii Craib (Annonaceae), Argyreia roseopurpurea (Kerr) Ooststr. (Convolvulaceae), Diospyros bejaudii Lecomte (Ebenaeae), Cladogynos orientalis Zipp. ex Span. (Euphorbiaceae), Callicarpa furfuracea Ridl. (Lamiaceae), Memecylon paniculatum Jack (Melastomataceae), Ardisia congesta Ridl. (Primulaceae) and Coelospermum truncatum (Wall.) Baill. ex K. Schum. (Rubiaceae). In each of the species, voucher specimens, the general distribution and photographs are presented. Keywords: angiosperm, flora, Myanmar, new record, Tanintharyi, woody plant INTRODUCTION The Tanintharyi Region (formerly Tenasserim), located at the northwestern part of the Thai–Malay Peninsula, is a part of the Indo–Burma biodiversity hotspot, with the Indochinese– Sundaic flora and fauna transition (MYERS ET AL., 2000; TORDOFF ET AL., 2012). The area is still predominantly forested, ca. 80% of a total land area of 43,000 km2, but recently large areas have been selectively logged and converted to agricultural land (CONNETTE ET AL., 2016). The vegetation is diverse along with elevational gradients, heterogeneous landscapes and geologi- cal conditions including granite, sandstone, shale and spectacular karst limestone (DE TERRA, 1944; BENDER, 1983), which drove the diversification of plants to high endemism. In spite of the high value of biodiversity of the area, the area is poorly known botani- cally. It had not been surveyed for over 40 years until 1996, mainly because of the tumultuous history of the civil war and conflict at the end of World War II.

  • Policy and Plans to Establish British Authority in the Shan States (1886)
    Dagon University Research Journal 2016, Vol. 7, No. 1 The Study of the Traditional Culture of the Salon Nationals Tin Tin Aung* Abstract The Salon nationals are those who were struggling for their existence by fishing, catching leeches, cutting barnacles, finding birds nests, diving pearls. The Salon nationals are the most skillful persons in diving. It is learnt in ancient time even the newly child was thrown into the sea. In ancient time the Salon nationals used not to wear shirts but only wore longyis. At present, with the development of the modern era and with the encouragement and directions of the State Government the Salon nationals has developed in knowledge and view and has begun to wear the full national dress. Since ancient time a Salon male has the right to marry more than one woman. The wealthy people used to practice the polygamy custom more though marriage is conducted by the consent of parents, they have the right divorce. The marriage conduct has controlled marriage to reduce divorce and commitment of his conduct. In ancient time the Salon national did not used to bury the corpse in the ground, but abandoned it by putting on a scaffold build up on tree in an island. At present they have begun to bury the corpses. Therefore, with an intention not to gradually disappear of Salon nationals residing in the archipelagos in lower Myanmar, it is proposed that the plan should be laid down and implemented by the Government of the Union of Myanmar. Taninthayi Division, in the southernmost part of Myanmar, constituted of three Districts, namely the Dawei District, Myiek District and Kawthaung District.
