Through the Bhutan For Life (BFL) Program, conservation initiatives, restoration activities, and management of protected and other effectively conserved areas are contributing to measurable climate mitigation.

From 2019–2025, BFL achieved an estimated cumulative mitigation impact of 3.9 million tonnes of CO₂, against the BFL program’s revised mitigation target of 10.68 million tonnes of CO₂. The estimated annual mitigation impact was 0.39 million tonnes in 2024 and 0.81 million tonnes in 2025. These figures represent the Bhutan for Life Program’s mitigation impact and target.

For 65 households in Lhakchung and Goenpa Karp under Bumdeling Wildlife Sanctuary , access to water during the dry season is now more secure.

With support from Bhutan for Life, and in collaboration with the local communities, Khoma Gewog Administration and Bumdeling Wildlife Sanctuary, two covered catchment ponds and supporting water infrastructure have been constructed to improve water availability for these communities.

The new facilities will help families store and access water when natural water sources become scarce, supporting their everyday household needs and livelihoods.

A practical investment in water security, community resilience and the well-being of rural families.

For generations, communities across Bhutan have relied on wild plants for medicine, food, natural dyes, and fibers. To ensure this invaluable knowledge is preserved for future generations, Bhutan For Life supported the Ugyen Wangchuck Institute for Forestry Research and Training (UWIFoRT) in carrying out a nationwide ethnobotanical study.
The initiative documented and scientifically verified over 30,000 records of traditional plant knowledge, resulting in the national report "Plants with Purpose" and four practical guidebooks on medicinal plants, food plants, natural dyes, and fiber plants.
These publications transform generations of traditional knowledge into practical resources for communities, researchers, students, and forest managers. They promote the sustainable use of forest resources, strengthen biodiversity conservation, and create new opportunities for nature-based livelihoods.
This initiative of bringing traditional wisdom and scientific research together is helping preserve Bhutan's rich botanical heritage while empowering communities to continue living in harmony with nature.

On this International Tiger Day, the Bhutan for Life Program joins the global community in celebrating Bhutan's unwavering commitment to conserving one of the world's most iconic and endangered species: the tiger.

In Bhutan, the tiger is a symbol of ecological resilience. It is deeply woven into our cultural heritage, spiritual traditions, and national identity. Protecting tigers means safeguarding the forests they call home, preserving rich biodiversity, and ensuring healthy ecosystems that sustain both wildlife and people.

Supported by the Bhutan for Life Program in collaboration with other conservation partners, the National Tiger Survey 2023 estimated Bhutan's wild tiger population at 131 individuals, a 27% increase from the 2014-2015 survey. This remarkable milestone reflects the success of sustained conservation efforts, scientific monitoring, and the collective dedication of government agencies, frontline rangers, local communities, and conservation partners.

As we celebrate this achievement, let us reaffirm our shared commitment to protecting these majestic cats and the landscapes they inhabit, for nature, for future generations, and for the harmony of life on Earth.

🐅 Happy International Tiger Day!
