Republic of the Union
of Myanmar (Burma)


For almost 50 years, this large Asian country of 60 million residents remained closed to most foreign visitors.  Today Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a new favorite destination among seasoned travelers from both East and West.

The geography is stunning.  There are multiple hill and mountain ranges including the Himalayas to the north, lush jungles, several major rivers, uninhabited tropical beaches, huge tracts of mangrove habitat, and hundreds of offshore islands.  Temples, pagodas, and monasteries dominate both city and country communities as most people follow Buddhism.  In addition there are more than 130 ethnic groups who continue practicing their own ancient customs.  Sadly, poverty is also widespread here.

Like many poor countries, Myanmar remains overly dependent on fossil fuels, timber, mining, subsistence farming, and fishing.  Corruption and poorly enforced laws encourages illegal logging, animal poaching, and trade in animal parts.  There are many outside agencies now establishing community-based programs in support of conservation and sustainability.

Wild animals to see here include river dolphins, Asian elephants, tigers, leopards, wild boar, the red panda, deer, antelope, monkeys, crocodiles, and over 800 species of birds.
