Bhutan Bird Watching |
While most of Asia 's bird
habitats (forests) are being and have been
decimated, Bhutan is a very special because of
its lack of deforestation and the government's
commitment to preserve wildlife. Few developing
countries have the cultural and environmental
interconnectedness that Bhutan has always
promoted. 60 percent of Bhutan is now forested
and, by law, will remain forested. Bhutan has
the highest percentage of ecological preserves
in the world; over 26 percent of Bhutan is
designated for environmental conservation. While
all of this makes economic sustainability
tougher but a more needed policy, it provides
the bird lover with the world's best viewing
opportunity.
Birds in Bhutan can be found from the glacial
alpine regions of the north to the sweltering
tropics of the south. The geography and altitude
is also the most diverse areas of bird habitats
ever found in a single country. Endangered Black
Necked Cranes winter in the temperate Phobjikha
Valley highland marshes while the Rufous-Necked
Hornbill hides out in the lush tropical rain
forests of the south. With an area the same as
Switzerland , Bhutan seems much bigger because
of its remoteness and extremely rugged terrain.
