Dawna Tenasserim: Species on the Brink

Straddling the Myanmar-Thailand border, the transboundary Dawna Tenasserim is the largest contiguous forested area in Southeast Asia

and is home to iconic species - tigers, leopards, elephants - and species found nowhere else on earth - Fea's muntjac and Tenasserim lutung. But all of these species are on the brink, threatened by rapid land use change, habitat loss and fragmentation, and the rampant wildlife trade.
