Preserving One of the Last Great Wildernesses on Earth

Tucked in the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is a global model for conservation. More than 70% of its land is forested, one of the highest percentages in the world, and over half the country is designated as protected areas. At the heart of this achievement lies the Bhutan Trust Fund for Environmental Conservation—the world’s first environmental trust fund and a powerful vehicle for climate resilience, biodiversity protection, and community empowerment.

Through this donor-directed campaign, the Aspen International Mountain Foundation (AIMF) is honored to partner with BTF and offer U.S.-based donors a tax-deductible way to support Bhutan’s environmental vision.
