This document discusses Bhutan's approach to development that prioritizes environmental sustainability. Some key points:
- More than 50% of Bhutan's land is protected for conservation, over 80% is forested, and its carbon sequestration exceeds emissions.
- Bhutan's constitution mandates protecting the environment and holding citizens responsible for conservation.
- It balances development with sustainability by preserving watersheds for hydropower and limiting tourism's environmental impacts.
- Bhutan has built an eco-tourism industry around protected areas to generate income while conserving biodiversity and landscapes.

◦ In a time of diminishing global biodiversity, Bhutan’s
conservation achievements read like an environmentalist’s
heavenly dream. More than 50% of its land area is
designated as protected in national parks, nature reserves
and biological corridors. More than 80% of the country is
covered by natural forests, and it has a reafforestation
program that is further increasing this figure. And its record
on carbon sequestration is greater than its national emissions
by a factor of two.
◦ Bhutan’s environmental successes are running so counter-
current to most other countries, they represent a “pleasing
paradox”. And they demonstrate that it is possible to preserve
very high biodiversity while achieving sustainable
development.
3. Bhutan’s counter intuitive development goals
For Bhutan, environmental sustainability is both the primary objective and the starting point for national
development.
Within its 2008 national constitution, the government pledged to protect, conserve and improve its pristine
environment and safeguard the biodiversity of the country.
The flip side is that all Bhutanese are formally held responsible under the constitution to protect the
environment.
The country is transcending the classical tension between economic development and environmental
conservation by developing sectors that require continuing environmental protection to be sustainable.
This has included a “run-of-the-river” hydroelectricity development which requires the preservation of
watersheds in natural forest. Their national needs for electricity are met while generating foreign exchange
with India, which has expanding energy needs.
Bhutan has also developed a “low impact-high value” approach to tourism, guarding against some of the
negative, culturally destructive aspects of mass tourism.
Controlled pricing and limiting the numbers of tourists and their access to certain areas is also minimising
unwanted impacts.
They have built an eco-tourism industry around protected areas. This ensures the conservation of
biodiversity and landscapes that particularly attract the eco-tourist. It also generates income for
communities living with problematic wildlife.
