“Dictators love teak, which makes us hard to breathe”
Dictators & cronies have been main reason of forest depletion in #Myanmar for decades.
Today, we ring the bells of our friends from #ASEAN #MilkTeaAlliance y around the world to join us, speaking up for those who can’t.

During the years under military rule, they cut down trees, sold them & ecosystem has collapsed. All the money earned by selling people’s properties went directly into their pockets.

After 80 days w/ dictators, they have arrested activists incl. land rights activists from Putao, Kachin State. If they continue to exist & authority is in their hands, our forests will be in danger again.

“As we enter a dark new era of military rule, our forests and their defenders are again threatened and in extreme danger.That is why we are calling on the international community to sever all ties with the military, and not to forget our forests.” https://www.frontiermyanmar.net/en/the-fate-of-our-forests-is-in-the-balance/

Half of Myanmar is covered by forest, which accounts for 29 million hectares. Since 1990, Myanmar has lost 26% of its forests.
