	Informat.io on Tropical And Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, also known as tropical rain forests or tropical wet forests, are a tropical and subtropical biome.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are found in a belt around the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with high year-round rainfall.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the Afrotropic (equatorial Africa), Indomalaya (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the Neotropic (northern South America and Central America), Australasia (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and northern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, and hackneyed as tropical wet forests and tropical rainforests, are a tropical and subtropical forest biome.
		The biome proportionate types of forests, plus lowland hot rain forests, which corral alpine rainfall year-round; moist deciduous and semi-evergreen forests, with alpine all-embracing rainfall marked by robust seasonal variations; montane rain forests convention in cooler-climate mountainous areas; and freshwater swamp forests and peat swamp forests.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are convention in a belt proximal the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with alpine year-round rainfall.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Irrawaddy moist deciduous forests (IM0117)
		At the center of this ecoregion is the Irrawaddy River basin, whose ancient sands contain fossils of creatures both terrestrial and aquatic.
		Today, amid moist deciduous forests, present-day mammals and birds can be found in abundance, although they are limited to those few areas protected from development.
		Conversion of forests to agriculture and shifting cultivation remain the most persistent threats to this ecoregionâs biodiversity.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Irrawaddy moist deciduous forests (IM0117)
		Moist deciduous forests dominate this ecoregion but are found not only in the Irrawaddy River Basin but also throughout the country along the Chindwin, Sittang, and Salween rivers.
		Conversion of forests to agriculture and shifting cultivation is prevalent.
		The dry, seasonal vegetation in the Irrawaddy Valley is represented by the Irrawaddy Moist Deciduous Forests [IM0117] and Irrawaddy Dry Forests [IM0205], which comprise the teak (Tectona grandis)-dominated moist deciduous forests and the drier patches of Dipterocarpus-dominated dry deciduous forests, respectively.

		In its primeval state the truly lowland wet evergreen forests of this subregion exhibits four storeys: the emergent trees (60 m), the dominant and codominant trees in the second storey (45 m), an intermediate layer of trees with canopies between 23 m and to 30 m and the suppressed vegetation.
		Tropical moist deciduous forests occur mainly in India, Nepal and Bangladesh in zones where the mean temperatures of the year vary from 20 to 30°C and rainfall between 1 300 and 2 000 mm, and with a dry season of 4–5 months.
		Moist teak forests as a rule are a mixture of species, although relatively pure associations in the upper canopy are fairly frequent.

	Continental South and South East Asia
		Forests in Thailand are concentrated mostly in the north, but there are some large patches in the south east which lie within protected areas (Map 1).
		Of the forest types which only occur in one country with very little protection, the tropical sclerophyllous dry forest occurs in only one ecological zone, but the other, non-tropical freshwater swamp forest, occurs in three, and is only protected in one (Table 3).
		Some of these forest variants may indeed be truly rare and unprotected types, others are clearly fragments of forest at the end of their ranges, as for example certain types of dry forest should not normally occur in moist ecological zones, or vice versa.

	2.2 Protected area management
		The climax vegetation in coastal areas is lowland rainforest with mangroves and freshwater swamp in the Irrawaddy Delta and flood plain.
		These are, in turn, surrounded by a fringe of moist evergreen forests and evergreen montane forests in the arc of higher hills to the west, north, and east, merging in the far north with temperate oak and subalpine conifer forests and ultimately fir, birch, rhododendron, and other subalpine vegetation.
		A stated goal of the 1995 Forest Policy is to "strengthen wildlife management through the establishment of a network of national parks, wildlife reserves, and sanctuaries." The policy includes provisions to expand the protected area system first to 5 percent, and ultimately to 10 percent, of the land area, although no time frame is provided.

		Location and General Description: This ecoregion represents the montane moist forests along the length of the Chin Hills and Arakan Yomas mountain ranges along the west coast of Myanmar.
		This large ecoregion represents the semi-evergreen submontane rain forests that extend from the midranges of the Arakan Yoma and Chin Hills north into the Chittagong Hills of Bangladesh, the Mizo and Naga hills along the Myanmar-Indian border, and into the northern hills of Myanmar.
		However, the lowland forests are heavily degraded, and many lowland specialists such as the endemic Gurney's pitta survive in a few isolated reserves.

		These forests were arranged in altitudinal strata with sub-tropical pine forests (STP) at lower elevations being replaced by Himalayan moist forest (HMT) (west only), montane wet temperate forest (MWT) (east only) and Himalayan dry forest at higher elevations (HDT).
		Teak Tectona grandis is a major component of the deciduous forests in the south of the unit and Sal Shorea robusta is dominant in the northeast.

		The remaining forest is scattered throughout the landscape as small patches, mainly restricted to the steep slopes of the volcanoes.
		As a result of forest fragmentation and degradation, no sizable populations of large mammals exist here anymore, and the future for birds is no better unless their habitats are protected.
		The conversion of forests to agricultural land, along with hunting, the collection of rare species for sale, and inadequate management of existing protected areas, are the main threats to this region.

	2. The state of Burma's forests
		Most of Burma's undisturbed closed-canopy forests are located in the mountains that ring the country.
		The rules governing exploitation of Burma=s forests are given by the Forest Law that was promulgated in November 1992, superseding the 1902 Forest Act.
		A Forest Policy was approved by the Ministry of Forestry in July 1995.

		Much of the logging takes place in forests that form part of an area said to be “very possibly the most bio-diverse, rich, temperate area on earth.” In 2004, more than 1 million cubic meters of timber, about 95% of Burma’s total timber exports to China were illegally exported from northern Burma to Yunnan Province.
		The rapid fragmentation of this forest, and the biodiversity conservation and watershed protection it provides, is of national and international concern.
		Once the soil is deprived of the several protective, cohesive and integral functions provided by the forest, it is prone to run off and deposit in the bed of the rivers, causing sedimentation and consequent impacts downstream.

		In Ecuador, a single hectare of mangrove forest has been shown to provide food and livelihood for ten families, while a prawn farm of 110 hectares employs just six people during preparation and a further five during harvest.
		The heavy reliance on woodfuel has eroded its supply source in numerous areas and it is clear that unless urgent remedial measures are undertaken the more accessible forests will soon be exhausted and remote areas will have to be exploited instead, involving rising market prices.
		The National Training Workshop on the Integration of Wood Fuel Production and Marketing in Forest, Agriculture and Tree Production Systems in Myanmar, jointly organised by the Forest And Energy Departments of Myanmar in March 1999, was a milestone in the country's efforts to achieve sustainable bioenergy development.
