The Thamin PHVA Workshop
To address the concerns outlined above, as well as other problems facing the thamin in
Myanmar, a Population and Habitat Viability Assessment (PHVA) workshop was held at
The Central Forestry Development Training Center at Hmawbi, Myanmar from 24-27
January 2000. The workshop was conducted at the invitation of the Myanmar Ministry
of Forestry, Nature and Wildlife Conservation Division, Forest Department, and was
organized jointly with the Conservation & Research Center, Smithsonian Institution in
Front Royal, Virginia (USA). Forty people attended the workshop (Appendix I), which
was hosted by the Myanmar Ministry of Forestry, Nature and Wildlife Conservation
Division, Forest Department, the Smithsonian Institution and was facilitated by the
Conservation Breeding Specialist Group (CBSG) of the IUCN Species Survival
Commission. Participants included Myanmar biologists, researchers, park wardens,
wildlife managers, and other experts. The Conservation & Research Center,
Smithsonian Institution, generously supported the workshop. The primary aim of the
PHVA was to develop a first-cut conservation action plan to improve the status of
thamin in Myanmar, particularly within the Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary.
