Ecotourism
 Myanmar is a land full of richness in nature and
the diversity of species. The ecosystems in this
country constitute one of the biological reservoirs
in Asia. The land area of Myanmar is 261,228 square
miles, with a variety of natural resources, plants
and animals. The Ministry of Forestry is responsible
for maintain the forests of Myanmar. There are over
7,000 plants and over 1,000 endemic species. Also,
there are about 1,000 bird species, 300 mammals, 350
reptiles are recorded. The richness of the
biodiversity in nature gives Myanmar a way for
Ecotourism. The general concept of ecotourism is to
restrict the number of visitors within the carrying
capacity of the ecotourism site. The allowable
tourism level at such areas will vary with the
tolerant sensitivity of the type of forests and its
environment. Now there are nature reserves and
wildlife centuries for ecotourism development.
