Sakteng Wild life Sanctuary

Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary

Sakteng is based in Eastern Bhutan, or Trashigang Dzongkhag (district) which borders Arunachal Pradesh. It protects several endemic species including the eastern blue pine and the black-rumped magpie.

Bhutan’s foreign ministry has issued a demarche to the Chinese embassy for china’s claim over the Sakteng Wildlife sanctuary. The recent claim was made at the 58th meeting of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Council, by trying to “oppose” funding to a project for sanctuary saying that it was “disputed” territory.

Bhutan’s western and middle sectors have been in dispute with China, they are

  1. Jakarlung,
  2. Pasamlung
  3. Chumbi Valley.

However, the eastern sector has not been part of the boundary talks and China had not claimed rights over the Sakteng wildlife sanctuary earlier.
