Summary
The project will develop Bhutan’s in-country capacity in the ecological assessment and conservation of grasslands,
focussing on one high-altitude community which is particularly heavily dependent on rangeland resources. It will address existing weaknesses in grass identification and develop new print and digital identification materials for Bhutanese graminoids. It will work with local communities to promote resilience and enhance livelihoods through improved rangeland management capacity and by building awareness of sustainable NWFP collection and exploring other sustainable economic opportunities.
