Flora and Fauna of Bhutan

The Himalayas are the storehouse of biodiversity, and the flora and fauna of Bhutan associations are sheer majestic. Globally, Bhutan is recognized as a model for conservation and considered as one of the biodiversity “hotspots” of the world. The pristine forests of Bhutan harbours immense diversity of flora and fauna. The country has very high variation in altitudinal gradient from less than 150 m.a.s.l to more than 7500 m.a.s.l within a short span of about 175 kms stretching east-west. Given the wide variation of climate due to altitudinal variation, there is an opportunity to witness different floral and faunal associations within very short distances.

Bhutan can be divided into three major climatic zones:
Alpine Zone (4000m and above) with no forest cover;
Temperate Zone (2000 to 4000m) with conifer or broadleaf forests; and Subtropical Zone (150m to 2000m) with Tropical or Subtropical vegetation.

Types of forest in Bhutan include Fir Forests, Mixed Conifer Forest, Blue Pine Forest, Chir pine Forest, Broadleaf mixed with Conifer, Upland Hardwood Forest, Lowland Hardwood Forest and Tropical Lowland Forests. Bhutan harbors over 60 percent of the common plant species of the Eastern Himalayas.

With more than 72 % of its total land under forest cover, the Government policy and the Constitution commands that at least 60% of its total land area should be maintained under forest cover for all times to come. Large numbers of floral and faunal species are found in unaltered habitat. According to Forestry Department records (2002), the country boasts of more than 166 species of mammals, about 770 species of birds and 7000 species of vascular plants with many endemic to the eastern Himlayas and Bhutan itself. Bhutan has 46 species of Rhododendrons and over 300 types of medicinal plants. Some common species are pine, junipers, magnolias, oak, carnivorous plants, rare orchids, daphne, blue poppy (the national flower), edelweiss, giant rhubarb, gentian, medicinal plants, high-altitude plants and tropical trees.
