A
research study under the project of mainstream biodiversity and ecosystem
services in the Chindwin River Basin will be officially launched on 1 April in
three townships along the river, said Daw Khin Ohnma Htway, Director of Myanmar
Environment Institute (MEI).
The
research programme will be carried out in 15 villages, including six in Khamti,
three in Kalewa and six in Chaung U townships, which are the main areas of
biodiversity conservation. Researchers will monitor the values of biodiversity
and observe the environmental impacts and livelihood problems in the
communities.
The
research programme is planned to start from early April and continue until late
May. The results of this study will be revealed to the public through the
regional government, Daw Khin Ohnma Htway added.
The
project of mainstream biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Chindwin River
Basin is aimed at building the capacity of civil society and government
agencies in assessing potential impacts of development and climate change on
biodiversity and ecosystem services and livelihoods, mainstreaming biodiversity
and ecosystem services values in policies and plans, and raising awareness of
biodiversity conservation.
