Slash & Burn agriculture is still a common practic

Slash & Burn agriculture is still a common practice among mid and highland kachin farmers in the foothills of the Himalaya.

"Shifting cultivation, an age-old and worldwide practice of clearing patches of forest to plant crops for a few seasons, then letting the woods return. It’s also called “swidden agriculture.” But “slash-and-burn” is the pejorative term that captures how many foresters and development experts, both in Thailand and around the world, perceive this tradition." - National Geographic

There are many parts of Kachin state where the most sensible way to transport food and consumer goods is by using elephants.

“Kachin State in Myanmar (Burma) and its immediate environs comprise one of the most heavily forested zones in all of South and Southeast Asia. In many ways, it is the only remaining region where Asian elephants can at least somewhat approximate the range of mobility they enjoyed in ancient times.”
- Jacob Shell, Temple University

Felix would be celebrating his 36th birthday today, if he was not killed in action fighting the occupation of his homeland.

The first Time magazine article that came out after the war resumed in Kachin 10 years ago, was largely based on Felix and his experience & views as a front line officer.

Rest in Peace brother

A young fisherman stands patiently on a flooded road at the overflowing shore of Mung Lai hka river. Fresh fish is still easily found in the abundant wild streams of the Himalayan foothills. It contributes a great part to the Kachin diet as a rich source of protein and nutrients.
