In view of the importance of the Myanmar forestry sector in enhancing
national socio-economic development, and ensuring ecological balance and
environmental stability, the Myanmar Forest Policy has been formulated
in a holistic and balanced manner within the overall context of the
environment and sustainable development taking full cognizance of the
forestry principles adopted at the United Nations Conference on
Environment Development (UNCED), 1992.
The Policy has identified the following six imperatives:
A. Protection of soil, water, wildlife, biodiversity and environment;
B. Sustainability of forest resources to ensure perpetual supply of
both tangible and intangible benefits accrued from the forests for the
present and future generations;
C. Basic Needs of the people for fuel, shelter, food and recreation;
D. Efficiency to harness in the socio-environmentally friendly
manner, the full economic potential of the forest resources;
E. Participation of the people in the conservation and utilization of
the forests; and
F. Public Awareness about the vital role of the forests in the well
being and socio-economic development of the nation.
