Title card: Camera traps show what lies within Myanmar’s lowland forests

Narrator: The forests of Myanmar are home to a rich diversity of wildlife, but many of these species are threatened by habitat loss and hunting. To better understand the status of these animals, WWF has set up camera traps in several lowland forests across the country.

Narrator: For example, we now know that tigers, elephants, leopards, and bears are all present in these forests. These species are all considered to be threatened, and their presence in these forests is a sign of the importance of these areas for conservation.

Narrator: The camera traps have also captured images of human activity, such as logging and hunting. These activities are a major threat to the wildlife in these forests, and they need to be stopped if we want to protect these animals.

Narrator: WWF is working with local communities to protect these forests and the wildlife that lives in them. We are working to educate people about the importance of these forests, and we are supporting them to develop sustainable livelihoods that do not rely on hunting or logging.
