Environment
Sarpang Dzongkhag, located in southern Bhutan, is known for its rich biodiversity and varied landscapes. The dzongkhag spans subtropical forests, lowland plains, and mountainous terrain, creating a favorable habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. Forests cover a significant portion of the area, and many parts fall within the Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park and Royal Manas National Park, which are vital for wildlife conservation. These forests are home to elephants, tigers, leopards, hornbills, and many other species, making Sarpang ecologically important at the national level.
Background
However, the district faces environmental challenges such as human-wildlife conflict, land degradation due to shifting cultivation, and increasing pressure from developmental activities. Frequent rainfall and fragile soil conditions in some areas lead to landslides and erosion. Nonetheless, the government and local communities are taking proactive steps through afforestation programs, awareness campaigns, and eco-tourism initiatives. These efforts aim to preserve Sarpang’s natural heritage while balancing sustainable development goals.
