TheBhutanese: Bhutan is considered as one of the top biodiversity hotspots in the world, a tag befitting of Bhutan’s large forest coverage, which are both rich and intact. Such a provision provides a safe haven for many floral and faunal species to thrive unperturbed. New and rare species of flora and fauna are being discovered and recorded at a steady pace. Recently a bird species, not normally found in Bhutan, was sighted in central Bhutan. The sighting of Sharp-tailed Sandpiper in October this year by the officials of the Royal Society for the Protection of Nature (RSPN) has added to the official number of bird species, which is high as 701, in Bhutan.
