Systematic Forest Management in Myanmar During Colonial Period Thi Thi Han This paper traces the development of forest management in Myanmar during colonial period. It gives information about the emergence of forest management in Myanmar to conserve forest and natural environment from the reign of Myanmar kings to colonial period. Forests had played an important role in the economy of Myanmar. Conservation of forests began since the reign of Myanmar kings. Forest management started in Konbaung period. Since 1752, teak trees were declared as royal property and royalties were levied for their extraction. However, scientific forest management began in 1856. Myanmar Selection felling system was also known as the Brandis Selection system because Dr. Dietrich Brandis who started the scientific forest management in 1856 formulated the yield regulation of teak trees and adopted the system. Prescribed girth limit, annual allowable cut and 30-year felling cycle are control measures to ensure harvesting timber in sustainable basis. Systematic forest management was easier by adopting rules and acts to form reserved forests. By reservation of forest, forest products could be systematically produced, natural environment and wild life could be conserved and forest products could be constantly obtained. Hence, the main purposes of this paper are to know the systematic forest management during colonial period in detail, and to understand the valuable existence of forest and systematic management for extraction of forest resources are most important benefits for the next generation. 2018 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000465 https://meral.edu.mm/records/465
