Bhutan is one of the two carbon-negative countries on the planet, with a forest coverage of more than 70%, Suriname being the other one.

Bhutan is a cradle to over 770 bird species as well as some of the world’s most endangered animal species, including the Royal Bengal Tiger, Snow Leopard, Red Panda, and the rare White-Bellied Heron, among others.
