More than 4,000 hectares
of forest was razed by fire in Wangdue Phodrang district, central Bhutan this
week. According to the range officer, the fire had reached Matalongchu forest
and Lingmukha gewog’s boundary in Punakha, after burning the entire forest
under Phangyul gewog. Due to the difficult landscape, strong wind and lack of
water sources nearby, the fire was difficult to control.
