The Hukawng Valley is an isolated valley in Burma, roughly 5,586 square miles in area. It is located in Tanaing Township in the Myitkyina District of Kachin State in the northernmost part of the country.
Ringed by steep mountain ranges to the north, east and west, the valley is known as a habitat of
tigers, but encroachment by man has greatly decreased their numbers, to perhaps as few as 100 animals. In 2004, the government established the world's largest tiger preserve in the Hukawng Valley, the Hukawang Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, with an area of approximately 2,500 square miles. The government's establishment of the preserve was accomplished in cooperation with the Kachin Independent Army, a formerly-rebel group that inhabits the region.
The extremely rare
leaf muntjac, also known as the phet-gyi, dwarf deer or leaf deer, also lives in the Hukawng.
Major industry includes
amber and gold mining. In 2006, a fossil of the earliest known species of bee was discovered in amber taken from a mine in the Hukawng Valley.
