Indawgyi Lake Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected wildlife reserve at Indawgyi Lake, Myanmar
The sanctuary extends across 814 square kilometers of wetlands, grasslands, and forests surrounding Myanmar's largest natural freshwater lake in Kachin State.
The area received official protection status in 1999, leading to its recognition as an ASEAN Heritage Park and designation as a Ramsar site in 2016.
Multiple ethnic groups maintain traditional fishing practices on the lake, following methods their ancestors developed over generations of living near the water.
Visitors can reach the sanctuary through local roads from Mohnyin Township, with optimal wildlife observation conditions occurring between November and February.
The sanctuary houses the recently discovered Indawgyi bent-toed gecko, along with 93 fish species and numerous resident and migratory birds.
