Bhutan is fortunate to have rich biodiversity and a strong commitment to environmental protection. Throughout my internship at WWF-Bhutan, I learned that people and nature cannot be viewed as separate entities. Conservation efforts must take into account the realities faced by communities who live alongside wildlife and depend on natural resources for their livelihoods. Whether it is addressing human-wildlife conflict, preventing poaching, or promoting sustainable resource use, successful conservation depends on understanding both ecological and human needs.

Far more than just beautiful creatures, they are vital keystone modifiers whose daily movements profoundly shape our ecosystems, enrich biodiversity, and maintain the delicate balance of nature.

This , let's commit to protect nature's ecosystem engineers for nature and people.

“𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆, 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒗𝒆” reads the first sign along the Tergola Trail in HAA Dzongkhag Administration . Winding through pristine broadleaf and rhododendron forests on the southern slopes of Tergola, this easily accessible trail offers visitors an immersive experience in one of Haa’s rich natural landscapes, with the exciting possibility of encountering the elusive red panda.

The proposed trail showcases the potential of Nature-Based and Wildlife Tourism (NBWT) by combining biodiversity conservation, community participation, and sustainable visitor experiences.

Tergola presents an opportunity to create a community-led wildlife tourism experience. Tergola Red Panda Trail is one of Bhutan's six NBWT flagships developed by the Department of Forests and Park Services and WWF-Bhutan with technical support from the Department of Tourism, Bhutan

Bhutan's NBWT flagship was launched on July 29, coinciding with World Tiger Day. WWF-Bhutan provides technical expertise in conservation tourism planning, community engagement, financing models, safeguards, and monitoring systems and facilitate a community benefit-sharing mechanism.

In Gakiling and Sangbay gewogs, it means farmers returning to paddy cultivation after years of crop losses due to wildlife incursions.

Through practical solutions such as chain-link fencing, supported by the IKI Living Landscapes Project and implemented by the Jigme Khesar Strict Nature Reserve, farmers are once again cultivating their fields with confidence.

As highlighted by project focal officer Ugyen, the approach aims to support both conservation and community well-being for lasting coexistence

The Living Landscapes project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety through the International Climate Initiative (IKI) with support from WWF Deutschland

In Bhutan, the project is implemented by WWF-Bhutan and Tarayana Foundation in close coordination with the Department of Forests and Park Services and the National Land Commission Secretariat.
