There are currently five national parks in Bhutan. In addition to national parks, there are also reserves. Together they form the basis of the protected natural territories of Bhutan , occupying about 35% of the country's territory. Each national park has its own characteristics, created to protect the most important ecosystems and is not used as a tourist attraction [1] . Bhutan’s specially protected areas are managed by the Forest and Park Service Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (Department of Forest and Park Services, Ministry of Agriculture and Forests) [2] .
