CONFLICT OVER BIOLOGICAL CORRIDOR- Bhutan



About 55 landowners from Pemagastshel district, southeastern Bhutan have demanded compensation for their land identified as biological corridor of Manas Wildlife sanctuary.  The problem does not only rely on land compensation but priority for maintaining biological corridor is also not clear. The corridor is connected with double lane highway where more than 1,000 trucks carry out every day. To solve this conflict Ministry of Agriculture has formed commission to assess land plotted under Manas Wildlife Sanctuary.
