Bhutan-Biodiversity Action Plan 2009

Over the past decades, loss of biodiversity has become a major global concern. Various international reports suggest that species are disappearing at 50 to 100 times the natural rate, genetic resources are diminishing, and ecosystems are being severely degraded worldwide largely due to unsustainable human activities. Many countries, both near and far, are suffering from economic and environmental woes brought on to them by the destruction of their ecosystems, species and genetic resources.
