Today, we proudly celebrate WORLD RANGERS DAY, honoring the courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment of rangers who work tirelessly to protect our forests, wildlife, and natural heritage.

Rangers are the frontline guardians of biodiversity, ensuring the sustainable management of protected areas while safeguarding ecosystems for present and future generations. Their service, often carried out in challenging and remote conditions, plays a vital role in conserving nature and supporting local communities.

On this special day, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to all rangers for their invaluable contributions and steadfast commitment to conservation.

**Happy World Ranger Day!** 🌿💚

Under the theme: "Securing the Future of Tigers with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities at the Heart", JSWNP joins the international communities and tiger range countries in celebrating this important event, the International Tiger Day, also known as Global Tiger Day.🐅

Tigers are not only the majestic icons, they are apex predators in the animal kingdom, and are powerful indicators of healthy forests, and thriving biodiversity. Protecting tigers also safeguards countless other species, strengthen climate resilience, and supports the livelihoods and well-being of communities that share these landscapes.🐅

The Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park is proud to be one of the thriving populations and home to these majestic big cat.🐅🙏

On this special day today, let's reaffirm our shared responsibility and commitment made to conserve habitats and protect this unique symbol of our natural heritage. Together, we can ensure that tigers-and the communities who protect them-thrive for generations to come.🐅

🙏🐅Happy International Tiger Day🐅🙏

The Bhutan for Life (BFL) Monitoring Team, led by the Dy. Program Director, visited Central Bhutan to monitor the implementation progress of Year 7 & 8 BFL-funded activities. The monitoring program aimed to assess the achievements, challenges, and overall progress of conservation and community-based activities supported under the BFL initiative.

Since most of the activities within the park were carried out in far-flung and remote areas, the BFL Focal Official presented a comprehensive progress reporting presentation at the Head Office, Tshangkha, highlighting the major activities implemented, outcomes achieved, and future plans.

The visit provided an important platform for discussion, review, and strengthening coordination towards effective conservation management and sustainable development within the park landscape.

Centrally located and encompassing a wide altitudinal ranges & vegetation types, Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, erstwhile known as the Black Mountain National Park is the third largest protected area in the country, covering 1,730 sq. km. The park borders Royal Manas National Park in the south, connected to Jigme Dorji National Park and Wangchuck Centennial National Park to the north, and Phrumsengla National Park to the northeast by biological corridors, thus forming a contagious belt between tropical south-alpine north.

Often referred to as the heartbeat of the protected area system of Bhutan, the park is a premier birding hotspots in central Bhutan. This biologically diverse park best represents the middle Himalayan ecosystem and contains several ecological biomes ranging from sub-tropical to alpine meadows, providing best habitats for some of Bhutan's rare birds. Birds of conservation significance include Rufous-necked Hornbill, Great Hornbill, Satyr Tragopan, Himalayan Monal, and Ward's Trogon, also serving the home to the population of world's critically endangered 'White-bellied Heron'.

The park supports a remarkable diversity of over 350 birds, ranging from tropical to alpine landscapes, and added few species like Black-browed Tit, Golden-breasted Fulvetta, White-browed Bush Robin, and White-spectacled Warbler recorded during the biodiversity assessment surveys conducted in the past years, with various rare migratory and resident birds.

The recent record of Blue-naped Pitta (Hydrornis nipalensis, , 1837) through photographic evidences from Berti village in Tingtibi, Zhemgang is another milestone made for the park, and proudly adds this beautiful bird to the list of park's avifaunal diversity.

(Blue-naped Pitta is a brightly colored bird, with a stub-tail. It is blue and green above, with a reddish-yellow colouring below. The birds nape and hindneck are bright blue, and the tail is brown with a bit of green. The male and female birds are similar, but the female's hindcrown is reddish-brown, and it has a green hindneck. It usually ventures out into clearings only in the morning and late in the evening. Its call is a double whistle and can be heard when it is on the ground and from the tree top at dawn and dusk. The nesting season is April to August, during which both the parents share an equal parental duties to raise the young. Its diet mainy consists of ground insects and other small mammals).!

The park management greatly appreciates and congratulates Mr. Sherab D Jamtsho, Park Range Officer of Tingtibi Park Range Office (JSWNP) for his valuable contributions by recording this beautiful terrestrial bird of family .🐦❤️🙏

Thus, the Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park is a critical habitat, often serving as a connectivity corridor, featuring extensive biodiversity grids to keep on tracking such beautiful species.🇧🇹❤️🙏
