  • 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.

  • The Ancient City of Thagara: Cultural and Social Change in the Buddhist
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online 1 Dawei Buddhist culture: a hybrid borderland Myanmar Historical Research Journal (21) June 2011, pp.1-62 Elizabeth Moore 1 Dawei is both hybrid and borderland, its Buddhist culture a stylistic and territorial puzzle. Far from the ‗heartland‘ yet passed from one major polity to another over the centuries, its pagodas and monasteries provided a physical and aesthetic means to asserted distance and accommodate ‗other‘. Some objects and ideas were imported; others grafted the new onto local forms to produce hybrid styles, while others are uniquely local.2 Is Dawei culture similarity or a new unification of the cultural diversity of Pyu, Bagan, Sri Lanka, Sukhothai and Ayutthaya? This report argues the contrary, that Dawei resilience in the face of continual threats sustained a local cultural personality that has survived until the present. The question is addressed by first classifying the sites of Dawei into four cultural zones and then discussing the extraordinary range of artefacts from these zones by material.3 This is preceded by a chronological summary to illustrate the often turbulent history and local chronicles. Figure 1. Glazed wares from Sin Seik,circa 15-17th century CE, paintings by Myint Aung, Ministry of Culture, June 2010. Dawei urban and cultural significance The earliest illustration of the process of accommodation and separation described above can be seen in the ‗Dawei Pyu‘ of the first millennium CE. 4 The majority of these come from the large site of Thagara5 [/tha ga ra/] founded in 754 CE (116 ME), with the only text source being the Dawei chronicles.
