    Construction of various project components
    to extract, process, and export the Shwe
    gas - as well as oil trans-shipments from
    Africa and the Middle East - is now well
    underway. Local peoples are losing their land
    and fishing grounds without finding new job
    opportunities. Workers that have found lowpaying
    temporary jobs are exploited and fired for
    demanding basic rights. Women face unequal
    wages, discrimination in the compensation
    process, and vulnerabilities in the growing sex
    industry around the project.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (extract): Poverty alleviation has been recognised by the new government as a strategic priority for human
    development. While official figures estimate that a quarter of the nation live in poverty, this survey suggests
    that almost two thirds of households in rural areas of South East Burma/Myanmar are unable to meet
    their basic needs. Impoverishment is particularly severe in the conflict-affected townships of Kyaukgyi
    and Shwegyin in Pegu/Bago Region and Thandaung in Karen/Kayin State. Comparative analysis with

    Only 40 kms north of the Thai border
    in the mountains of eastern Shan State,

    the Kok River, impacting
    countless Shan and northern
    Thai communities downstream
    - must be stopped immediately.
    The Italian-Thai Power Company has entered into
    agreements with the Burmese military regime to
    develop an open-pit coal mine and power plant at

    The Burmese military government, together with
    the government of India, is planning to build a giant
    hydroelectric dam near Tamanthi on the Chindwin River
    in northwest Burma’s Sagaing Division. The dam’s fl ood
    reservoir will be almost 1,400 sq km, the size of Delhi, and
    will permanently displace over 45,000 people, including
    the entire town of Khamti. Already over 2,400 people have
    been relocated at gunpoint from the dam site, without fair
    compensation.

    ... Myanmar is a country of huge biodiversity importance that is undergoing major political change, bringing with it new international engagement. This includes access to international markets, which will likely spur investment in export-oriented agriculture, leading to increased pressures on already threatened ecosystems.
