Description:
"The Kaydoh Mae Nyaw Wildlife Sanctuary (KMWS) is one of 13 established Wildlife Sanctuaries under
the administration of the Kawthoolei Forestry Department (KFD) within Karen State. The KMWS
encompasses 91,599 acres (37,069 hectares/ 271 km2) of forest resources in the Southeast corner of
Mutraw (Papun) District. It is home to great biodiversity and a number of endangered and vulnerable
species, including the Critically Endangered Chinese pangolin and Sunda pangolin.
This area experienced heavy armed conflict during 1994-1995, and many villages and communities were
displaced from their homes. It encircles a Karen mountain range known to the locals as "Bu Thoh",
where the famous Twee Hpah Wee Joh hill was the site where many KNLA and Burmese soldiers had
lost their lives in intense and deadly fighting in the 1990s. These destructive conflicts led to the mass
displacement of the Karen communities in this area, and have had long-lasting negative impacts on the
previously sustainable livelihoods of such communities.
In the past, the villagers living in and near the Kaydoh Mae Nyaw Wildlife Sanctuary were well-known
for their hunting skills. These hunters had extensive knowledge about the geographical features in
Kaydoh Mae Nyaw area and they would spend weeks at a time in the deep forests hunting and gathering
foods. However, after it was decided that this area should be conserved, the community members have
chosen to use their knowledge to protect their forests and its inhabitants, and hunting activities have
been decreasing ever since.
The Kaydoh Mae Nyaw Wildlife Sanctuary is the first KFD Protected Area to be established within the
Salween Peace Park (it is located in the southern-most section of the Salween Peace Park). Thus, the
KMWS ties into a more wide-reaching initiative by the KNU Mutraw District leaders and KESAN to
establish an integrated, indigenous Karen Reserve, which encompasses nearly the entire area of the
KNU-administered Mutraw District..."
