Bhutan prepares National Biodiversity Database using eDNA
The country will soon have a national biodiversity database, using a new tool called environmental DNA or eDNA. This method can identify different animal species in an area by testing DNA traces found in water samples. This will help map where species live and how rich the biodiversity is. To prepare for this, 24 forest officials from across the country attended a one-day training to learn how to use the equipment and collect water samples.
Today, biodiversity monitoring in the country mostly relies on camera traps and field surveys, which are physically demanding and are not always effective.
