In this context, during the 2009 Conference of the Parties 15 (COP 15) in Copenhagen, RGoB pledged to remain a carbon-neutral country, and has successfully done so. This was reaffirmed at the COP 21 in Paris in 2015.

Tigers (Panthera tigris) have lost 93% of their historical range and are experiencing rapid population declines. A dominant paradigm of current tiger conservation focuses on conservation of 6% of the presently occupied tiger habitat deemed to be tiger source sites. In Bhutan, little was known about tiger distribution or abundance during the time of such classi- fication, and no part of the country was included in the so-called 6% solution. Here we evaluate whether Bhutan is a potential tiger source sitebyrigorously estimating tiger density and spatial distribution across the country. We used large scale remote-camera trapping across n = 1129 sites in 2014–2015 to survey all potential tiger range in Bhutan.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.

  • An Account of a Journey Across Valleys and Mountains to Provide Training to People on Collection of Medicinal Plants
    An account of a journey across valleys and mountains to provide training to people on collection of medicinal plants ... towards sustainability of traditional medical services in Bhutan Kinga Jamphel Head, Pharmaceutical & Research Unit, ITMS Ever since the establishment of traditional medicine (TM) services in the country in 1967, most of the high altitude medicinal raw materials have been collected from Lingshi. It is important to rotate the collection sites at certain intervals in order to enable the natural resources to regenerate. A survey on alternate sourcing conducted at Bumthang in 2006 revealed that around 18 medicinal plants could be collected. To provide training on sustainable collection and discuss on the logistics for transportation of medicinal plants, a team visited the high altitude areas of Bumthang. The last few days before the departure were filled with excitement and nervousness, especially as the journey would involve long walks across high mountain areas where stamina and body fitness would be put on test. Food supplies and logistics were organized. It was 10th of October 2007. I woke up early and checked my luggage for all important things - some medicines, a knife, a sleeping bag, a mat, clothes, a torch, a plate, a mug, etc. I prayed for a safe journey and said goodbye to my family. The other members of the team Drungtsho Gempo Dorji, Ugyen, Jamyang Loday and Tshewang Rinzin joined and the long journey began from Thimphu at 7.30 AM. As we traveled along the East-West national highway cross Dochula, Pelela and Yotongla passes we were excited thinking about the days ahead.

    HIGHER STIn the vertiginousAT mountainsE of Bhutan, where happiness is akin to holiness, bicycling has become much more than a national pastime. It’s a spiritual journey. BY JODY ROSEN OF BEINPHOTOGRAPHSG BY SIMON ROBERTS N BHUTAN, THERE IS A KING who rides a bicycle up and down the mountains. Like many stories you will hear in this tiny Himalayan nation, it sounds like a fairy tale. In fact, itís hard news. Jigme Singye IWangchuck, Bhutanís fourth Druk Gyalpo, or Dragon King, is an avid cyclist who can often be found pedaling the steep foothills that ring the capital city, Thimphu. All Bhutanese know about the kingís passion for cycling, to which he has increasingly devoted his spare time since December 2006, when he relinquished the crown to his eldest son. In Thimphu, many tell tales of close encounters, or near-misses ó the time they pulled over their car to chat with the bicycling monarch, the time they spotted him, or someone who looked quite like him, on an early-morning ride. If you spend any time in Thimphu, you may soon find yourself scanning its mist-mantled slopes. That guy on the mountain bike, darting out of the fog bank on the road up near the giant Buddha statue: Is that His Majesty? SOUL CYCLE The fourth king is the most beloved figure in A rider in the Tour of the Dragon, a modern Bhutanese history, with a biography 166.5-mile, one-day that has the flavor of myth.

  • Bhutan -A Summary of Climbing and the Anglo-Indian Ascent of Jitchu Drake DOUGSCOTT
    Bhutan -A Summary of Climbing and the Anglo-Indian Ascent of Jitchu Drake DOUGSCOTT (Plates IS, 16, 59) A visit to Bhutan had been on the agenda since the mid-1960S when that gteat Himalayan explorer Augusto Gansser published photographs of unclimbed 7000m peaks in Mountain World (1964/65). The seed sown then lay dormant for 20 years, until news percolated through in 1983 of Japanese and Austrian visits to the mountains of Bhutan. My interest grew further as a result of a chance visit to the Darjeeling trekking conference in 1985. Nedup Dorje, representing the Bhutanese Tourism Corporation (BTC), gave a memorable discourse upon the underlying philosophy governing the future oftourism and mountaineering in Bhutan- the message was controlled development. The Bhutanese government was in the advantageous position of being able to scrutinize closely the mass tourism which had taken place in Nepal, where the cultural heritage had been seriously eroded by an estimated 200,000 tourists visiting that country each year. Bhutan had been virtually barred to foreigners until the Coronation of the present King, Jigme Singye Wangchuk, in 1974. During that year 287 foreign visitors were allowed into he country. That allocation has increased to 2500 per annum, but not all the places are taken up because of the high costs imposed by BTC - between $85 and $200 a day, depending upon whether the visitor is on a mountaineering expedition or a 'cultural' visit to the towns and temples. The temptation to increase the Gross National Product was being resisted, for as the King once told the World Bank experts, he is not so interested in the GNP as in the Gross National Happiness of his people.
