"When it comes to conservation and sustainable living, Bhutan has the biggest
heart. The small Himalayan nation tucked between towering Himalayas has once
again proved her commitment to nature with the declaration of a new biological
corridor-9 (BC-9).
The new biological corridor connects Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary and Bumdelling
Wildlife Sanctuary in eastern Bhutan - home to unique flora and fauna species
such as snow leopard, red panda and ludlow's Bhutan glory.
The new biological corridor provides an ecological connectivity between
Bumdelling Wildlife Sanctuary and Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary, which has similar
biodiversity and minimal disturbances from anthropogenic activities. Its
establishment completes the Bhutan Biological Corridor Complex (B2C2) in the
east.
B2C2 forms a major conservation landscape in Bhutan comprising protected areas
and its connecting biological corridors. There are five national parks, four
wildlife sanctuaries, one strict nature reserve and nine biological corridors.
BC-9 - which was approved by Bhutan’s Parliament in November 2023 - covers six
sub-districts in Trashi-yangtse district and one in Trashigang district. It is
expected to ensure animal movement, enhance conservation attention, and
preserve 124 species of birds, 25 species of mammals, and 227 species of
plants."
