Hukawng Valley Tiger Reserve

The reserve spans 17,373 square kilometers of evergreen and mixed deciduous forests between elevations of 125 to 3,435 meters in northern Myanmar.

The area gained strategic importance during World War II with the construction of the Ledo Road, connecting military supply routes between India and China.

Indigenous communities maintain traditional practices within the reserve boundaries while participating in conservation efforts alongside international organizations and local authorities.

Access to the reserve is through the city of Tanai, where researchers conduct wildlife monitoring programs and camera trapping surveys throughout the protected area.

The reserve holds the distinction of being the largest tiger conservation area globally, covering 21,890 square kilometers of diverse ecosystems.
