Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary

The sanctuary extends across 260 square kilometers of natural terrain, providing essential habitats for numerous native species in the Sagaing Region.

The Forest Department of Myanmar established this conservation area in 1941 to safeguard the local ecosystems and protect endangered species within the region.

Local communities near the sanctuary maintain traditional practices that incorporate sustainable resource management and environmental stewardship through generations.

The Forest Department manages visitor access and educational programs, while international organizations contribute funding for ongoing conservation initiatives.

The sanctuary serves as a critical refuge for the Eld's deer population, which adapts specifically to Myanmar's central dry zone conditions.
