Flora
In
the varying from
altitudes as low as 200m to as high
as 4000m,
Bhutan has a very rich species of
flora . Forests of alpine scrub, fir, mixed coniferous species,
temperate scrub and broadleaf species, many of which are unique to
Bhutan, cover an estimated 72% of the Country. The Bhutan Himalaya
is also important source of valuable medicinal plants used in
ayurvedc medicine. The vast wealth of flora is highly appreciated
by both Bhutanese and the world outside.
Fauna
Because Bhutan’s forests have
remained largely undisturbed, a number of rare animals can still be
found in the country, including wide distributions of golden langur,
takin and blue sheep. Tiger, leopard, snow leopard, red panda,
gaur, serow, Himalayan black bear, wild boar, musk deer and other
types of deer are commonly found in many parts of Bhutan. Notably,
the Phobjikha valley in western Bhutan is one of the global
wintering grounds for the rare black-necked crane. One quarter of
the country thus has been declared as protected
reserves/sentries/nature parks.
