Fauna and Flora International Myanmar

Fauna & Flora International (FFI) has been supporting conservation work by local civil society organisations in Myanmar since 2008, and we were one of the first international conservation organisations on the ground as the country began to open up in 2011.

We have a varied and exciting programme of work in the country, covering a wide range of ecosystems including forests, wetlands and marine environments. Our work ranges from community-based conservation to collaborative protected area management, and from site-based conservation to landscape- and seascape-level conservation approaches, such as the ridge-to-reef conservation project in Tanintharyi and our freshwater ecosystem conservation programme in the upper Irrawaddy basin.

We mitigate threats at our project sites by supporting collaborative patrolling and law enforcement, as well as providing support for sustainable livelihood development in buffer zones. The latter includes initiatives such as community forestry, sustainable fisheries, organic farming and responsible ecotourism.
