RSPN Bhutan hosted a two-day’s consultation meeting focused on creating sustainable livestock initiatives along the Mangdechhu and Punatshangchhu basins, which are crucial habitats for the Critically Endangered White-bellied Heron (WBH).

The meeting gathered key implementing partners from various government agencies ; Department of Livestock, National Livestock Research Centre (NLRC), Dzongkhag Livestock Officers, and Agriculture Officers from the six project districts.

The meeting focused on creating sustainable, integrated livestock initiatives like beekeeping and fishery that will both support local communities and strengthen conservation efforts for the WBH.

We extend our gratitude to all the participants for your valuable inputs.

This activity is part of the IKI Project, “Developing Ecosystem-based Solutions for Managing Biodiversity Landscapes in Bhutan,” funded by the BMUV and co-funded by the MAVA Foundation and RSPN.
