Phobjkha Wetland Cleaning

An awareness-cum-cleaning campaign on World Migratory Bird Day, in Phobjikha will be conducted on 9th May 2020. A cleaning campaign of the Phobjikha wetland, involving the local community, would not only help in cleaning up the area but would also provide an opportunity to learn about the situation of the wetland due to improper waste management. Participants will be divided into groups of 20-30 and the entire wetland will be divided into patches to be cleaned up by respective groups. At the end of the cleaning campaign the waste collected will be weighed and segregated. The non reusable waste will be transported to the nearby landfill site. In the evening, after a brief report of the day’s program, bird-related documentaries will be screened to the participants as well as the general public at the Phobjikha Central School.
