Rapid infrastructure
development in Bhutan has resulted in declining count of endangered black necked
cranes and large billed crow. Human encroachment in their habitat and chemical in
their food is the main reason for their extinction. As a consequence of
urbanization the residents of Phobjikha valley are giving up farming to provide
home stay facility to the tourist. Home-stay is one of the components of a
community-based sustainable tourism project funded by Japan international
cooperation agency (JICA) to improve livelihood of communities and to conserve
the habitat of crane.
