Bhutan: Invertebrate species

Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: Bhutan, recognized globally as a highly biodiverse region, is also home to vast specimen collections of flora and fauna, held at environmental agencies such as the National Biodiversity Centre (NBC), Royal University Bhutan (RUB) and Department of Forests and Park Services. These collections include datasets for the following taxonomic groups: plants, invertebrates, birds, fishes and mammals, providing a total of approximately 4000 records. Making this data readily available to interested stakeholders is a major goal for the national government and therefore, digitising the specimens is a natural next step within the data mobilisation process.
