Our
PURPOSE
Our philosophy
Act locally and bird responsibly
Disappearing spring water sources for drinking, untimely flowering of fruiting trees for food, lower elevations fruit trees at higher elevations, lack of pattern in rain are some of the emerging disruptions in our mountain habitats, local ecosystem, and livelihood interdependence.
Professionals with over 15 years of birding experience and bird enthusiasts have formed Bhutan Bird Finder in early 2019 to contribute to the climate change adaptations. The basic principle is to assist in the conservation and protection of food sources, especially native wild fruit trees for birds, their habitats, and assist those people living in the vicinity of the birding areas by carrying out ecotourism activities.
To realize our purpose, we focus on our differentiation strategy based on our ecotourism values of interdependence.
Mission
Build awareness of birds and their habitats among people living around 23 important bird areas.
Strategy
Delivering and meeting needs with differentiation strategy for the conservation of birds and their natural habitats.
Plan
1. Organize birding and herpetofauna travel in Bhutan.

4. Help people living around birding spots plant fruit trees to generate non-forest based incomes.
