Surely, Ayeyawady Division will be fully regenerated with thriving trees and crop plantations by next year...There were some voices saying that only with free access would there be many more supplies.

It is food for thought..."..... "PERSPECTIVES": "Establish more tree plantations and forests for environmental conservation".
