The Community Action Plan (CAP) for Hman Pin village and Hman Pin inn aims to balance biodiversity conservation with local development in the Upper Chindwin Basin of Myanmar. The plan identifies high-priority threats to the 4-acre wetland, including gold mining, logging, and overfishing driven by cultural festivals. To mitigate these pressures, the CAP proposes a three-pronged approach: habitat conservation through the demarcation of zones and local regulations; the promotion of sustainable livelihoods such as groundnut cultivation, pig farming, and fish farming; and a Communication, Education, Participation and Awareness (CEPA) programme. Implementation is led by a Village Working Committee (VWC) with support from the Stockholm Environment Institute and other partners, utilizing a monitoring framework to track water quality, biodiversity, and land-use changes.
