| Livestock predation in central Bhutan: The impacts of social and economic change | |
| 2005 Full Book | |
This paper describes the pattern of livestock predation in central Bhutan as it emerged from a survey conducted in November and December 2004 in Bumthang _dzongkhag_. It attempts not to take sides but simply to report what herders say and to relate this to our still patchy biological knowledge of predator patterns in this region. But it does emerge that the present situation is unsatisfactory, that policies for livestock production and environmental conservation need to be thought through in a more coherent manner. The impact of Bhutan's remarkable environmental policies may well shed light on related situations in comparable areas. |
