Myanmar - the Best Birding Site in Southeast Asia Countries

The north-western part of Myanmar (comprising Kachin State, Chin State and upper part of Sagaing Division) lies in the Himalayan Region and the southern part of Myanmar (Tanintharyi Division, lower parts of Mon State and Kayin State) lies in Malayan Region. Myanmar, therefore, enrich the biodiversity of all over the world.

There are 9672 bird species in the world and 1225 species are in South-East Asia Region. According to the birders records, 1069 bird species are in Myanmar which is 10 percent of the entire total birds of the world as well as 90 percent of the Southeast Asia Region.

In Europe, there are more than 500 bird species, in Indian Continent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Maldives) more than 1300 species, in Malaysia 725 species, in Thailand 915 species, in Singapore 335 species. Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand are located in Malayan Region it is therefore the Malayan bird species could be found in these countries. Myanmar’s birds and biodiversity are obviously richer than any other countries in Indo-China Peninsular.

The Himalayan Birds or Mountain Birds are not only found in northern part of Myanmar (which locate in Eastern Himalayan Region), the Malayan Birds are also found in Myanmar. It is therefore, visit to Myanmar, the birders would be able to enjoy the birding tours which would be covered for the birds from the two regions in the same time.

Moreover Myanmar has un-spoilt forests, environments and natures where nobody has arrived yet for discovery and research or all different observations. Especially, many bird species and biodiversities can be extending without record in those areas and hidden jungles. So Myanmar is an ideal place for bird watching: if you are lucky enough, you could record a new bird species on your own.

Dear Author,
I think you should better mention with scientific names for all birds. With best wishes.

Dear Nang,
Thanks for your comment. I am not an academic nor specialist in Birds (just a nature lover). But if you seriously want to know all those scientific names, please contact me directly with your relevant reason. I would try my best to find out and present you accordingly.
Once again, thanks for your visiting my blog and your comment.
