n a bid to address some of the environmental challenges in the country, the World Wildlife Fund Bhutan launched two new projects. The projects aim for proper waste management for a clean environment and to improve the livelihoods of villagers. The Minister for Energy and Natural Resources along with other officials launched the projects recently.

One of the projects titled “Faith Long-term Environmental Plan”, is being carried out by the WWF Bhutan in collaboration with the Central Monastic Body.

Also known as Enlightened Stewardship, the partnership project will strive to implement the long-term plan by engaging organisations, communities and youth to raise awareness on environmental conservation.

Tandin Wangdi, the Programme Lead said that their plan is to start the project from a monastery, where the monks will take care of their surroundings. It will be implemented as a pilot project from that monastery. Monks will manage their waste, use energy efficiently and maintain a clean environment.
