Status of Biodiversity in Bhutan

Bhutan’s exceptional biodiversity underpins the ecological health of our nation and the well-being of our communities. Our breathtaking landscapes, from verdant lowland forests to soaring alpine meadows, harbor an abundance of unique and iconic species, many of which are endemic and irreplaceable. This incredible biological wealth is intricately woven into the fabric of our cultural and natural identity. This report is the results of our long-term biodiversity monitoring program conducted across the nationwide network of Biodiversity Monitoring Grids (BMGs). These meticulously placed 4km x 4km grids ensure standardized data collection by our field offices, enabling us to compare biodiversity across diverse landscapes.
