This is the first of a three-part blog series called ‘Going Beyond GDP for Bhutan’. The content is based on a collaboration between Bhutan’s Department of Forest and Park Services (DoFPS) and ICIMOD to develop guidelines for Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) for Protected Areas (PAs), using Bhutan’s Jigme Dorji National Park (JDNP) as a case study. The work is supported by ICIMOD’s Himalayan Resilience Enabling Programme (HI-REAP) funded by United Kingdom International Development.

Achieving global biodiversity, climate, and sustainable development goals isn't a short-term task. It demands our ongoing commitments – through sustained investments, strong partnerships, and tangible actions that make a lasting impact on the ground.
