Across Bhutan’s protected areas, communities depend on healthy ecosystems for their livelihoods and well-being. Bhutan for Life supports sustainable livelihood initiatives, from ecotourism ventures like Gangtey–Phobji Eco-Camp and Wangchuk-ling-ka Park to nature-based enterprises such as herbal tea and wild dry fruit processing helping generate income and strengthen resilience.

Addressing human–wildlife conflict remains critical. Through practical solutions like electric fencing and improved livestock protection, more than 6,700 households are now able to farm safely while coexisting with wildlife.

When communities thrive, conservation endures.
