Myanmar’s
richness of a diverse array of species and ecosystems constitute one
of the biological reservoirs in Asia. The land area of Myanmar,
261,228 sq. miles extending from latitude 10N to 28N and longitude
92E to 102E from a land corridor linking the Indian, Indo – Chinese
and Sundial sub-bio geographical regions. Year round, snow-covered
Hkakaborazi mountain (19296 ft) is the unique geophysical landmark
in the Hindu – Kush –Himalayan region of Myanmar. Marine and
terrestrial ecosystems containing mosaic coral reefs, mangrove
forests and rain forests offer a degree of choice for the
establishment of ecotourism sites. In these diversified ecosystems,
with approximately 7000 plants, 1071 endemic species have been
recorded. The presence of 1000 bird species (12% of world’s total),
300 mammals, 360 reptiles indicate the unparalleled richness of the
biodiversity compared to any country with a landmass equivalent to
Myanmar. Sixty-eight kinds of swallow- tail butterflies,
representing 12% of the world total, make it the fifth richest
country in the world. With environmentally benign forest development
programs, Myanmar could avoid natural calamity by the application of
healthy forest conservation measures.
