  • 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.
