Establishment of Permanent Biodiversity Monitoring Plot for Education and Conservation Studies at Khaling-Kharungla

The project titled, “Establishment of Permanent Biodiversity Monitoring Plot for Education and Conservation Studies at Khaling-Kharungla” in Trashigang is a three-year project, supported by Bhutan Trust Fund for Environmental Conservation (BTF) as part of our Large Grants program.

Executed by Sherubtse College faculty, the project aims to establish a permanent biodiversity monitoring plot in Khaling-Kharungla, Trashigang, to facilitate education and conservation studies.

The inception activity of the project was carried out in April, this year, with focus on equipment use and field preparatory training to assess faunal and floral diversity. The participants gained familiarity with biodiversity assessment techniques, and methodologies for assessing different biodiversity groups were finalized. The training sessions also prepared the team for field surveys and biodiversity monitoring. Adaptation of methodologies ensures efficient data collection. The project lays the groundwork for robust biodiversity monitoring and conservation efforts in Khaling-Kharungla. It highlights the role of academic institutions in scientific research and conservation initiatives.

 

We wish Sherubtse College faculty, best wishes for successful implementation of this promising project for years to come.
