Myanmar is at a turning point. After a half-century of isolation the country has reengaged with the international community. Having embarked on a programme of economic liberalization and re integration with the global economy, Myanmar is expected to continue to grow rapidly. This growth will bring much-needed development, including substantial foreign investment, but will inevitably increase pressure on natural resources and biodiversity. This change presents the country with both risks and opportunities. As it develops, increased pressure will be placed on the country's rich biodiversity and natural resources. This NBSAP provides a detailed framework to address these pressures and guide and direct activities with the potential to affect biodiversity in Myanmar. The document is the outcome of extensive data and information collection and analysis, as well as a series of workshops and working group meetings with participation from government departments, NGOs, and academic institutions. Based on the consultations, discussions, comments, suggestions and updated information of biodiversity and natural resources in the country, the NBSAP has been prepared and approved by national stakeholders.The revised NBSAP will serve as a guide for biodiversity conservation from 2015 to 2020. Its goal is to establish a strategic planning framework, identify concrete actions, and ensure effective management and conservation of Myanmar's diverse ecosystems, species, and natural resources. On TBD, the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar adopted the Myanmar NBSAP at its Government Meeting No. (27/2015), held on 24-12-2015. The NBSAP is composed of four major chapters and three annexes, covering background information as well as a detailed action plan for achieving the national targets.
