Breeding Change: Cats, Culture, Conservation | Yin Myo Su | TEDxInyaLake

Yin Myo Su was born in beautiful Inle Lake in Myanmar with its unique heritage of lake rowers, floating gardens and breathtaking natural beauty. She gives a personal and heartfelt talk about how conservation and business are linked and how a chain of events took her from being a student revolution trouble-maker, to a hotelier, a heritage conservationist, protector of the Burmese cat and starting schools. Her story inspires the idea that business can make money and do good things at the same time. Moving and charming.
Yin Myo Su, born and raised at Inle Lake, Myanmar, is the managing director of the Inle Princess Group, and founder of the Inle Heritage Foundation. With over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, she has become a strong advocate for sustainable and responsible development practices that brings both social and economic benefit to local communities and insures the preservation of the creative, but fragile, cultural heritage of Inle Lake and Shan State.
As an environmental advocate, she has taken a leading role in reintroducing the Burmese Cat back to Myanmar and, at Inthar Heritage House, houses a private lake-side aquarium to draw attention to the unique and at-risk marine life nearby.
To pass on her knowledge, Yin Myo Su is Chairperson of The Inle Heritage Hospitality Vocational Training Center that equips aspiring hospitality workers from Shan State develop the necessary technical and human service skills.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
