Prioritizing Key Biodiversity Chindwin Myanmar

The study identifies mining, logging, dam construction, and agriculture as the primary threats to biodiversity in the Chindwin River Basin. Using a GIS-based Multi-Criteria Decision Making approach and the InVEST model, the research found that 87% of Key Biodiversity Areas provide a high degree of ecosystem services, with the highest levels occurring in the forested northern region of the basin.

• The primary drivers of biodiversity loss in the Chindwin River Basin are identified as mining, logging, dam construction, and agriculture.
• A high proportion of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in the basin provide significant ecosystem services, with the most substantial levels located in the forested northern section of the basin.
