Irrawaddy freshwater swamp forests

Ecoregion in Myanmar

The Irrawaddy freshwater swamp forests ecoregion covers the freshwater portion of the delta of the Irrawaddy River, set back an average of 70 km from the Bay of Bengal by the saltwater mangroves. To the north is a rainforest belt with less inundated land. The region is extremely fertile due to the river-borne silt, but nearly-total conversion to agriculture has degraded the ecology. There are no fully protected areas in this ecoregion.
