Myanmar Marine Biodiversity Atlas
The Myanmar Marine Biodiversity Atlas (Edition 1: December 2016) seeks to illustrate the current state of marine resources in Myanmar through spatial information and lay a foundation for future marine spatial planning and conservation activities. The maps presented detail Myanmar's physical marine environment, oceanography, marine habitats, biodiversity and fisheries, in addition to important human influences that will play a role in shaping the country's marine environment.

National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2015-2020)
This revised NBSAP utilize the available data and information to set target to preserve the species and habitats and influence decision making for multi-sectors biodiversity conservation activities. This version used the 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets to structure the analysis. There are global and national targets and are designed to be specific and realistic for the 5-year period. This NBSAP will guide biodiversity conservation from 2015-2020 with the main goal of establishing a strategic planning framework, identify concrete actions and ensure effective management and conservation of Myanmar's diverse ecosystems, species, and natural resources.

Threatened Ecosystems of Myanmar: An IUCN Red List of Ecosystems Assessment
The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems (RLE) aims to support conservation in resource use and management decisions by identifying ecosystems most at risk of loss or collapse. Similar to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the outcome of an RLE assessment is a list of ecosystems and their status for a region. Because the RLE was developed to promote a consistent framework suitable for assessing and monitoring the status of ecosystems, it enables comparisons of collapse risk between countries, locations and ecosystem types.

The Photographic Guide to the Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises of Myanmar
The conservation of Myanmar's unique and diverse turtle fauna has a high priority and the Myanmar Forestry Department has long collaborated with the Myanmar Program of Wildlife Conservation Society and Turtle Survival Alliance. One outcome of this collaboration is this photographic identification guide to the freshwater turtles and tortoises of Myanmar. This photographic guide book is timely, and will prove a useful and essential book for those people working together to save Myanmar turtles from extinction. Customs and police personnel who work at border check points, field researchers, students, hobbyists, and the person who just wants to know more about Myanmar's turtles will all find it very useful.
