| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We present the results of the first investigation of the water and sediment
properties and macroinvertebrate community at a 2nd order stream in Chin State, Myanmar. The concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus measured in the rainy season are very high compared with those measured in the dry season. The first Myanmar Trichoptera list based on the literature and recently collected materials are made. It comprises 227 species in 68 genera and 28 families. Twenty-one species belonging to 15 genera and 10 families were recorded in Myanmar for the first time.
We examined the knowledge and awareness of 200 respondents in two local townships, Mindat and Kanpetlet, regarding local environment issues and development requirements. Results indicated differences in knowledge and level of awareness between the two townships particularly regarding issues such as the reduction in fallow period, forest dependence, promoting tourism, protecting local identity and family planning requirements.
