The Community Action Plan (CAP) for Wetlar Inn and Nar Myittar village focuses on preserving a 6.0 ha permanent swamp wetland in the Upper Chindwin Basin of Myanmar. The plan addresses threats such as deforestation, land use change, and biological resource overexploitation by implementing a community-led governance framework through Village Working Committees (VWC). Key strategies include the creation of conservation zones, the promotion of sustainable livelihoods like pig farming and groundnut cultivation to reduce dependence on wetland resources, and a comprehensive Communication, Education, Participation and Awareness (CEPA) programme. The plan includes a detailed monitoring framework to track water quality, biodiversity, and land use changes to ensure the long-term ecological integrity of the site.
