For years environmental protection in Myanmar fell under the jurisdiction of the military regime. Gradual democratic reform in the country has seen a change in strategy, and the goverment is allowing NGOs to come in and work with local populations to protect their enviroment. One example is Indawgyi Lake, one of the largest inland lakes in Southeast Asia and a key ecosystem in the region. The NGO Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is working with local communities to preserve the lake's natural beauty.
