She against the Myitsone hydropower dam, a controversial project backed by China at the mouth of the Irrawaddy River.[1] Devi is the founder of the environmental activist organizations Global Green Group (3G) and the Myanmar Green Network.[2] Background ImageDevi Thant Sin was born on 2 January 1947 in Yangon, British Burma to parents Prince Taw Phaya Galay and his wife Khin May. She is not only known for being a leading environmentalist, but also as a Burmese princess and direct descendant of Myanmar's last monarch King Thibaw and Queen Supayalat.[3][4] Career and movementsShe started writing about environmental awareness in the early 2000s. In 2007, she launched her own which was Myanmar’s first and, still only Burmese-language environmental magazine Aung Pin Lae, the magazine inform the public of the global green movement and environmental degradation in the country. She also began travelling through the country to give talks to farmers about the risk of using chemical fertilizers, while she spoke with students to inform the younger generation of environmental concerns. She was to help unify Myanmar's burgeoning green movement.[2][6][5] Devi was to help unify Burma’s burgeoning green movement, and founded the environmental activist organizations Global Green Group (3G) and the Myanmar Green Network. She gathered together the country’s handful of environmental activists in 2006 to form the Global Green Group, followed closely by the Myanmar Green Network. The group is made up of shifting numbers of mining engineers, meteorologists, lawyers, civil engineers, activists, researchers and journalists.[6] Devi was against the Myitsone hydropower dam, a controversial project backed by China at the mouth of the Irrawaddy River in northern Kachin State that could cause widespread environmental devastation if it goes ahead. She said "For the whole of Myanmar, the Irrawaddy is like the mother river, If there is dam construction that they shouldn't do, we point out that it's not the time to do it". The environmental campaigns against the dam led to a nationwide public outcry, prompting President Thein Sein to suspend the project in 2011 until 2016, when his presidential term expires. In part thanks to Thant Sin and other protestors’ efforts, the project is currently on hold.[2][6] She is considered one of Myanmar's first environmentalists and works to fight deforestation and environmental degradation in the Southeast Asian nation. She is a leading light in Myanmar's fledgling green movements. She despite having lived the life of a commoner, she still considers it her duty to look after the interests of the Burmese people by fighting to protect the environment.[2][7] Being a documentary filmIn 2017, Devi and her uncle Taw Phaya, aunt Hteik Su Phaya Gyi, cousin Soe Win are appearance the main characters of We Were Kings, a documentary film by Alex Bescoby and Max Jones, the film premiered in Mandalay on 4 November 2017 at the Irrawaddy Literary Festival and also screened in Thailand at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand.[8] The film is not only a movie about Myanmar’s history, it is also a film about Burma's royal descendants of the last kings who lived the most unassuming life in modern Myanmar, unrecognised and unknown.[9] References1. ^{{cite news |title=Not the right time to repatriate King Thibaw, says descendant |url=https://www.mmtimes.com/national-news/130-not-the-right-time-to-repatriate-king-thibaw-says-descendant.html|work=The Myanmar Times|language=en|date=13 August 2012}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Devi Thant Sin}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.aecen.org/node/2096|title='We do not accept the government's clean coal technology’/Devi Thant Cin Q&A Interview|work=Asian Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Network|date=7 January 2017|accessdate=3 November 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.royalark.net/Burma/konbau19.htm |title=The Konbaung Dynasty (part 19) |publisher=Royal Ark |accessdate=15 February 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/lifestyle/13490-descended-from-royalty.html|title=Descended from royalty|work=The Myanmar Times|date=12 March 2015|author=Zon Pann Pwint|accessdate=3 November 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mizzima.com/news-opinion/‘we-do-not-accept-government’s-clean-coal-technology’|title=Devi Thant Cin Q&A|work=Mizzima News|date=7 January 2016}} 6. ^{{cite news |title=‘We Do Not Accept the Government’s Clean Coal Technology’ |url=https://www.irrawaddy.com/in-person/interview/we-do-not-accept-the-governments-clean-coal-technology.html/amp |work=The Irrawaddy|date=7 January 2016}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.irrawaddy.com/opinion/the-irrawaddy-river-is-like-a-mother.html|title=The Irrawaddy River Is Like a Mother|work=The Irrawaddy|date=15 June 2013|author=Kyaw Phyo Tha|accessdate=3 November 2017}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.atimes.com/article/right-remember-myanmars-last-king/|title=The right to remember Myanmar’s last king|publisher=Asia Times|date=10 February 2018|accessdate=|author=Jim Pollard}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/news/we-were-kings-burmas-lost-royal-family.html|title=We Were Kings: Burma’s lost royal family|publisher=The Myanmar Times|date=2 November 2017|accessdate=|author=Zuzakar Kalaung}} 5 : 1947 births|People from Yangon Region|Konbaung dynasty|Environmentalism|Living people |
