After more than five years, the Critically Endangered White-bellied Heron has been sighted again in the Kuri-Gongri Basin, Pema Gatshel Dzongkhag. Its last recorded sighting was in 2020, and for the first time, two White-bellied Herons were seen together.

Bhutan harbors more than 50% of the world’s White-bellied Herons. In 2025, a total of 29 individuals were recorded, according to the RSPN Annual WBH Population Survey.
