This project is categorized as one of the best projects in Bhutan according to the Biennial Programme Review Report (BPR). The project demonstrated tangible community development and conservation benefits, strong community committment, very good potential for sustainability, high level of cost-efficiency and solid link to improvement of the global environment in Climate Change focal area.
