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. Despite being a negative-emission Least Developed Country (LDC), Bhutan continues to restrain its socioeconomic development to maintain more than 71% of its geographical area under forest cover,1 and currently more than 50% of the total land area is formally under protected areas2, biological corridors and natural reserves. In fact, our constitutional mandate declares that at least 60% of Bhutan’s total land areas shall remain under forest cover at all times. This Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) represents a solid framework to build the climate- resilience of vulnerable sectors of the economy and at-risk communities across the country responding to the priorities of NDC. It also offers an integrated story line on Bhutan’s national

  • Continuing Customs of Negotiation and Contestation in Bhutan
    Continuing Customs of Negotiation and Contestation in Bhutan Adam Pain and Deki Pema∗∗ Introduction A concern for the maintenance of traditional values and customs in the processes of modernisation within Bhutan is evident in much of Bhutan’s official documentation. The fundamental importance given to the maintenance and fostering of Buddhism, its beliefs and associated institutions reflected in Bhutan’s rich culture, is constantly returned to and emphasized in commentary. Thus the establishment of the Special Commission for Cultural Affairs in 1985 “is seen as a reflection of the great importance placed upon the preservation of the country’s unique and distinct religious and cultural traditions and values, expressed in the customs, manners, language, dress, arts and crafts which collectively define Bhutan’s national identity” (Ministry of Planning, 1996, p.193). Equally the publication of a manual on Bhutanese Etiquette (Driglam Namzhag) by the National Library of Bhutan was hopeful that it “would serve as a significant foundation in the process of cultural preservation and cultural synthesis” (Publishers Forward, National Library, 1999). One strand of analysis that could be pursued concerns the very construct of “traditional” and what is constituted as “within” or “without” that tradition. As Hobsbawm (1983) reminds us with respect to the British Monarchy, much of the ceremonial associated with it is of recent origin. Equally national flags, national anthems and even the nation state, are, as Hobsbawm would have it, “ invented traditions” designed largely to “ inculcate certain values and norms of behaviour by repetition, which automatically implies continuity with ∗ Research Fellow, School of Development Studies, University of East Anglia & Planning Officer, Policy & Planning Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Thimphu 219 Continuing Customs of Negotiation and Contestation in Bhutan the past” (op.

While there is evidence of increased religious disapproval of pig raising, the consumption of pork, which is mainly met from imports, is increasing every year. Pig development activities are mainly focused on introduction of exotic germplasm. There is an evidence of a slow but steady increase in the population of improved pigs in the country. On the other hand, indigenous pigs still comprise 68 percent of the total pig population but their numbers are rapidly declining. If this trend continues, indigenous pigs will become extinct within the next 10 years. Once lost, this important genetic resource is largely irreplaceable. Therefore, Government of Bhutan must make an effort to protect, promote and utilize indigenous pig resources in a sustainable manner. In addition to the current ex situ conservation programme based on cryopre- servation of semen, which needs strengthening, in situ conservation and a nucleus farm is required to combat the enormous decline of the population of indigenous pigs and to ensure a sustainable source of swine genetic resources in the country.

Introduction 1.1 The setup of the Bhutan-Swiss Archaeology Project To date, Bhutan has no archaeological institution, neither at the university nor on ad- ministration level, and except for a single rescue excavation in the course of a con- struction project initiated by Helvetas in central Bhutan – the excavation was financed by the Swiss-Liechtenstein Foundation for Archaeological Research Abroad (SLSA) and realised by the Swiss archaeologist Dr. Reto Blumer in 1999–20011 – no archaeological excavation was ever conducted in Bhutan until autumn 2008. However, on March 29, 2005, Bhutan’s current Prime Minister, H.E. Jigmi Y. Thin- ley, expressed in a letter to Werner Külling – secretary-general of the Swiss develop- ment organisation Helvetas – his wish «to initiate archaeological projects in Bhutan for the first time in the country’s history». In the same letter it is stated that «the site of the ruins of Drapham Dzong in the district of Bumthang has been selected as the first project site». Later on (May 13, 2005), the head of the Division for Conservation of Heritage Sites mentioned in a letter to Helvetas that it is «His Majesty, the King of Bhutan’s personal wish to one day initiate archaeological projects in Bhutan», and that to this very first project great importance should be attached, since it would be «a leading example to many such projects that are planned for implementation in the country in the future.» And the request is expressed «to receive possible support for this significant and pioneering project» from Helvetas, i.e.

A new species of Chiloschista from a restricted area in Bhutan is described and illustrated. It is compared with C. parishii from Myanmar and Thailand, which has similarly colored flowers and from which it differs by the larger flowers, 15–18 mm versus 8–10 mm, and the lack of a glandular and pubescent, erect and curved callus lobe inside the lip, which is generally seen in other similarly colored species of this genus.

  • Dorje Lingpa and His Rediscovery of the “Gold Needle” in Bhutan
    Dorje Lingpa and His Rediscovery of the “Gold Needle” in Bhutan Samten G. Karmay1 Introduction Among the Buddhist ritual traditions that are still preserved and carried out as the central religious constituents of the annual festivals in Bhutan today those of Dorje Lingpa (1346-1405) stand out strikingly. This is particularly so in Bumthang area, Central Bhutan. In 1998 and 1999, I have had the good fortune to witness these spectacular festivals in Ogyen chöling and, in 1999, at Jampa Lhakhang in Bumthang itself. Dorje Lingpa is considered as one of the five great “treasure revealers” (tertön) among the Nyingmapa and an important Dzogchen master by the Bonpo tradition. He was thus an exceptional figure who clearly adopted an impartial approach to both Buddhist practices and the Bon, the non-Buddhist religious tradition in Tibet, in his spiritual quest. His approach therefore made him the precursor of what is later known as the “eclectic” (rime) movement of the nineteenth century (Smith 1970). Like many other Tibetan men of religion, Dorje Lingpa never settled himself in one place. He travelled around incessantly carried away by the motivation of disclosing hidden manuscripts and it was mainly because of this urge in him that he travelled to Bhutan, then known as Mönyul or Lhomön (Cf. Pommaret 1999), where he flourished particularly. He had left in Bhutan not only his ritual legacy but also his family descendants. 1 Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris 1 Journal of Bhutan Studies Due to the studies of Michael Aris (1979: 158) and Françoise Pommaret (1997: 408, 414), the accounts of Dorje Lingpa’s descendants who established themselves there as well as those of his reincarnations are now relatively well known.

  • UN System in Bhutan and Department of Disaster Management, Ministry of Home and Cultural Affairs
    UN System in Bhutan and Department of Disaster Management, Ministry of Home and Cultural Affairs Joint Monitoring Mission Report (18 September Earthquake) Samtse, Chukha, Haa and Paro 26-29 February 2012 1. Background The September 18th Sikkim earthquake affected several families and public activities in Bhutan causing damages to homes and community infrastructures. The earthquake resulted in 15 casualties, including one fatality. All dzongkhags in Bhutan suffered varying degrees of damages to homes, social infrastructure, including health and educational facilities, administrative offices, dzongs, lhakhangs and choetens. A Joint Rapid Assessment Team composed of members from RGoB (DDM-MoHCA, Doc-MoHCA, MoE, MoH), UN System (UNDP BCPR, UN OCHA, UNDP, UNICEF, WFP and WHO) and World Bank undertook field assessment on 6-12 October in Paro, Haa, Chukha and Samtse (the most affected districts). The assessment estimated that 62 percent of all residential structure damaged and over 87 percent of residential structure damaged beyond repair were in Haa, Paro, Chukha and Samtse Dzongkhags.1 The majority of the damages to 12 Dzongs, 320 Lhakhangs, 111 Chortens, 110 schools, 36 hospitals/BHUs/ORCs, 27 RNR Centers and 40 Geog Centers/Gups Offices were located in these most affected dzongkhags. All casualties took place in Haa and Chukha Dzongkhags. The People’s Welfare Office of His Majesty (Gyalpoi Zimpon’s Office), RGoB, local administrations, RBA and doesung/volunteers provided support to the affected families in forms of kidu grant, food, timber, transportation and workforce, especially in erecting temporary shelters. In response to the RGoB’s appeal to the UN System for immediate support of CGI-sheets, winterized school tents for schools and dignity kits on 22 September 2011, the UN system in Bhutan mobilized emergency cash grant of US$ 50,000 (UNOCHA), US$ 1.6 mln.(CERF-Rapid Response Grant) and US$ 75,000 (UNDP-BCPR Trac 1.1.3.).
