A CONSERVATION FAIRY TALE – THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS

A PLACE WHERE CONSERVATION IS NOT JUST AN ASPIRATION… IT’S A CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE
In Bhutan, environmental protection has always been considered vitally important to the nation’s Buddhist values. So much so that beginning in the 1970s Bhutan’s monarchs began championing visionary conservation policies. And when Bhutan recently transitioned into a democracy, the monarchs’ profound conservation legacy was continued by the new government, which literally wrote conservation into the country’s first constitution.
