As Myanmar moves to protect its natural heritage areas, international recognition becomes an important tool to assist this effort. Myanmar joined the World Heritage Convention in 1994 but has only one World Heritage Site (WHS), Pyu Ancient Cities, which was inscribed as a cultural site in 2014. Despite its size and biological richness, Myanmar has no natural WHS. Myanmar joined the Ramsar Convention in 2005 but had only one Ramsar site, Moeyungyi Wetland Sanctuary, which was designated in 2005.
