Myanmar is considered one of the last ''frontiers'' in conservation in Asia. But as the nation opens up, the risks to its nature are increasing.

When the Myanmar office came to Catalyze to help them design their annual report, we were keen to take the brand's visual style into a new direction, but without undermining its integrity.

The result is a bolder annual report that stands out compared to others in the WWF network.
