Bhutan's steep mountains are a part of the Great Himalayans, with peaks over 24,000 feet high in elevation. The valleys between mountains are shaped by winding rivers that run down from northern glaciers and into the Indian Plains. Bhutan has a cold, temperate climate in the north and a humid, subtropical climate in the southern foothills.
Because of Bhutan's landscape dichotomy, it is rich in species biodiversity. The small country is considered a global biodiversity "hotspot" with over 5,000 species of plants and close to 200 species of mammals. Some of the animals found in Bhutan include red pandas, snow leopards, musk deer, and takins (the country's national animal).
Bhutan's steep mountains and deep valleys make erosion a difficult thing to control in order to protect the country's forests. Controlling erosion and the way water flows will strengthen the forests and prevent trees from becoming uprooted.
Planting trees will give more animals in the area a place to call home. Replenishing a forest through agroforestry will increase biodiversity by attracting more wildlife to the area.
Our Bhutan project will plant fruit trees on community farmers' land, and educate them on the importance of reforestation. About 1000 plus communities will benefit from the project, and the community farmers will be able to increase their income through the sale of fruits.
