BIRDING IN MYANMAR

Myanmar is a country, which boasts 1,035 species of birds, 12% of the total number of the world bird species. Besides, as it is endowed with a diverse topography, various species of birds can be studied all at once.
Myanmar is one of the countries in the world which are listed to be covered with forests. It possesses 22.08 million acres of mountain forests, 13.59 million acres of evergreen forests, 33.12 acres of mixed deciduous forests, 4.24 million acres of Indaing forests, 8.49 million acres of dry forests, and 3.4 million acres of tidal forests, sand-bank forests and swamps.

The world endangered species of water-fowls can be watched and studied in the world wide known Inle Lake having an area of 248 square miles, the Indawgyi Lake which is twice the size of the former, the 40- square- mile Moeyungyi Lake Sanctuary, the Oxbow Lake in Hukaung Valley covered with evergreen forests.
The 2,170- km-long river, Ayeyarwady, the 966-km-long river, Chindwin, 2,816-km-long river, Thanlwin and the 483-km-long river, Sittaung are the haunts of many different species of birds.
