The 'Pearl of Buddha', Myanmar, is surrounded by sea on two sides. However, the northeast and central parts of the country are under constant threat of drought, lack of aquifers, destruction of the coastline, degradation of virgin forests and the opening up of arable land, adding to the conflict between man and nature. At the same time, long years of civil war and complex religious issues have led to threats to the rights of the local population, with large numbers of displaced Rohingya refugees under the daily shadow of white terror. As the covid-19 comes to an end, the retaliatory economic development of the population is bound to put those animals that have been able to take a brief respite from the epidemic at severe risk or even dying again. With the end of the epidemic and increased human activity, wildlife will migrate to nearby farmland and villages in search of water and destroy crops, resulting in conflicts between humans and animals as the land on which animals live becomes smaller, resulting in less food intake. The country currently only protects animals in protected areas and national parks, which cover an area of roughly 50 square kilometres, because of the conflict between man and nature. Addressing the conflict between food shortages caused by animal migration and local livelihoods and economic development, ecological corridors are proposed to protect the migration of animals and help them to feed and breed better. The key to resolving this conflict is the creation of resilient infrastructure. The project is situated in alanzu village of central Burma, a village located in an overgrowth of rainforest and farmland, with animals forced to come to the village to feed and even eat people because of man's wanton destruction of nature. People have built hammocks to prevent the invasion of animals and, on the other hand, to prevent disease. In recent years, however, animals have died in large numbers due to the constant destruction by humans.

A story of their death in silence

As the epidemic ends and human activity increases, the land on which animals live becomes smaller, leading to less food intake; wild animals migrate to nearby farmland and villages in search of water and destroy crops, thus creating conflicts between humans and animals.

People have built hammocks to prevent the invasion of animals and, on the other hand, to prevent disease. In recent years, however, the animals have died in large numbers due to human destruction, and will be rejuvenating the area in terms of geology, hydrology, agriculture and social rights.

The country currently only protects animals in protected areas and national parks, which cover an area of roughly 50 square kilometres. Many animals are killed and trafficked because of the conflict between man and nature.

To resolve the conflict between food shortages caused by animal migration and local livelihoods and economic development, ecological corridors are proposed to protect the migration of animals and help them feed and breed better. How Building some resilient infrastructure has become the key to resolving this conflict.

The project is located in the central Burmese village of alanzu, a village in the middle of an overgrowth of rainforest and farmland. Humans' unbridled destruction of nature has led to animals coming to the village to feed and even eat people.

long years of civil war and complex religious issues have led to threats to the rights of the local population, with large numbers of displaced Rohingya refugees under the daily shadow of white terror. With the end of the Coronavirus pandemic, the people's retaliatory economic development is bound to reintroduce severe threats and even death to the animals that were able to take a brief respite during the epidemic.

We need food more than anything else!!!

We are fully committed to ensuring the rights of Myanmar's animal!

This is a land once devastated by man, what direction will it take in the future?

As more and more people become aware of the dangers of destroying nature, they are making an effort to live in harmony with it, resulting in the slaughter of animals on the grounds of being gradually abandoned.

With the tremendous economic development of South East Asia and the internet thriving here, the future for the development of sites and the protection of animals may gradually improve as the internet progresses, and people's incomes may gradually rise without having to engage in things that destroy nature to gain profit.

The damage that has been done to nature may be difficult to restore over time, and wonder if people's awareness of environmental protection will diminish over time.

The political situation in Burma remains precarious, with insurgent forces still fighting with government forces, and political instability may make difficult to improve the population's lives here. With the end of covid-19, remains mystery whether the local population will retaliate by destroying nature.
