Deforestation concerns in Myanmar(Burma)

There is not enough electricity in Myanmar. So many other parts in Burma relies on wood as the main source of energy. They cut down woods to make firewood for cooking. They have been cutting down the woods for many years, so many forest areas in Burma are going to deforest soon. For example, ago township was once flourished with trees but now most forests have turned into farmlands. Myanmar’s forests are needed to be maintained right away. The tyrannical government also sells teaks to other countries and now some kind of wood like mangrove is becoming rare. As trees are important and taking part in maintaining the environment and natural disasters, we do need to care about our environmental problem which is threatening to all Myanmar people. For solving this problem, the government seems to do something about that. But in my opinion, we Burmese people must be care about the future and reduce using firewood a lot while the government is making laws not to cut down trees easily. Some NGOs have been doing projects to plant small trees in some places in Myanmar and also making GO GREEN project for the future.
