Moeyun Gyi Wetlands
Moeyun Gyi wetlands are situated in Bago Division, about 70 miles
north of Yangon, by the Yangon – Mandalay highway. It is just two –
hour drive from Yangon. In 1878 a water storage reservoir was
constructed in Moeyungyi area. Many year later, the reservoir
changed naturally into wetland with the extend of 40 square miles
which have high wetland conservation value. As a result, the
wetlands have been notified as a wildlife sanctuary since 1988.
Every year, millions of birds usually fly from the northern
hemisphere to the south along the East Asian- Australlian Flyway to
escape from winter. They stop to rest and feed in Asia. So the
flyway contains a network of wetlands and Moeyungyi is one of the
them.
Moeyungyi is a vital shelter for both reaident nd migratory
waterfowls. A census at Moeyungyi revelaed that there are 125
species of waterbirds including 70 species of migrants. Little
Grebe,Grey Heron, Sarus Crane, Asian Open- Bill, Ruddy Shelduck,
Purple Swamphen, Spot – Billed pelican, Pheasant Tailed Jacana,
Black Winged Stilt, Great Cormorant, etc., can be seen abundantly.
