“The exciting thing about this is it is so easy to fall into the trap of thinking we know everything about the world. But this report shows there’s still a huge amount out there about which we know almost nothing. Even once we’ve ticked the box of identifying a species we have only just scratched the surface of what there is to know.”
“We don’t know the exact population of tigers in Hukaung Valley, but from these techniques we know there are fewer than before. The situation is much worse, but there are still tigers in there. We have to find out how many,”
“Volunteers are able to contact regular blood donors in case of emergency. I would also like to thank volunteer organisers who devote their precious time to bringing about these kinds of events,”

“Because sales are slow the price has been coming down too. Chinese-made fertiliser is the most used in Mandalay and this is sent from here to surrounding areas,”
Top floor apartments bring with them a host of possible dramas, not least of which involves a potentially troublesome roof but there are advantages as well. In this case that advantage is an extra floor that has been converted into a shrine room and living space.
“Cold, rainy days make it difficult to get out of bed so my desire at this time is to be with books. I love reading fiction the most but in book shops we can only find old fiction books that have been republished several times,”
YANGON Orchestra cellist Saw James Hsar Doe left home in 2008 for Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music at the National University of Singapore to hone his skills.
