Recognizing the need for inclusion of several scientific tools and techniques into sustainable forest management plans to facilitate timber extraction and to develop a more comprehensive code, the Department of Forests and Park Services (DoFPS) has developed Forest and Nature Conservation Code of Best Management Practices of Bhutan.

Popularly referred to as Code, the documents would henceforth serve as the single source of scientific guideline for all forestry management regimes in the country and comprises of the following six volumes:

Volume I: Guiding Provisions

Volume II: National Forest Resources Assessment

Volume III: Sustainable Forest Management

Volume IV: Protected Area Management

Volume V: Cross-Cutting Management Regimes

Volume VI: Research and Development

The Code also takes also into account the impacts of climate change, application of modern technology in forest management and provides strong emphasis on monitoring and evaluation of forest and forestry

programs in the country.

Local tradition often traces the origins of Bhutanese etiquette to the Buddhist vinaya or monastic codes of discipline. For instance, slurping while eating or prancing while walking are described in the vinaya as behavioural flaws that should be eschewed by monks and are considered unbecoming for a cultured person. Thus, in Bhutan good manners are to a great extent defined by Buddhist ethics of wholesome physical, verbal and mental conducts. In this respect, the concept of driglam, like bzha (འབདབཞག) or jaluchalu (བྱལུགསཆལུགས), refers in a broad sense to the good manners adopted by individuals that are heavily influenced by the concept of Buddhist good conduct.

In modern times, the Bhutanese state has further promoted driglam namzha as a marker of Bhutanese identity. The Parliament discussed the topic many times before passing resolutions on its preservation and promotion, mainly to counteract the invasion of western culture. The growing concern about the decline of Bhutanese customs and need for strengthening of driglam namzha culminated in the royal decree of 16 January 1989, a milestone in the history of driglam namzha. Since then, driglam namzha has been considered an official set of ceremonial conducts for which special trainings were conducted. Several books were also published on the subject. Unfortunately, driglam namzha was viewed in some quarters as an authoritarian imposition of official culture, which reinforced hierarchy and existent power structures. Thus, it failed to receive the genuine and universal support it deserves in Bhutan. Although driglam namzha is taught at official programmes such as orientation sessions for fresh graduates entering government systems, there is much disinterest among the youth to take driglam namzha. It has also been criticized by international human rights activists as an imposition of mainstream Bhutanese culture on minority groups.

Driglam namzha, in essence, deals with eschewing certain physical, verbal and mental behaviours and adopting civil and courteous conducts of the body, speech and mind. Ideally, external behaviors should reflect wholesome values such as humility, self-control, calm and compassion while also displaying sensitivity and respect towards others. This is especially applicable to leaders and elders, as they are looked to as models for the people. By being courteous, one develops as an individual as well as provides a civilized mechanism for the harmonious functioning of society. It goes beyond the colours of scarves and numbers of bows that many people associate with driglam namzha, and carries intrinsic value in being an expression of civility, tact, propriety, decorum and elegance. By recognizing these values driglam namzha can be sustained and celebrated as part of Bhutanese heritage.

I realised I was gay back in 2015 when I turned 22. Before that, I wasn't bullied for being gay, but more for being [effeminate]. People tried to change my behaviour and even my friend circle because I hung out with mostly girls. They questioned why I didn't play sports and started talking about the way I walked.

Until then, I had mostly used Facebook for dating purposes. I had it for two years but shut it down when I met my current partner. If you look at fake profiles in Bhutan, we have lots of them. People don't trust each other easily, generally, and especially among the LGBTQ community.

Bhutan has advanced a lot because we are one of the fastest growing countries in the world. And even though most people have access to social media platforms now, social apps like Grindr have never been popular. It's just that because we are marginalised here and because, on social media, we see a lot of LGBT people outside our country getting attacked, beaten up, even murdered, that we live in constant fear. Keeping queer dating apps on our mobile phones could be a security risk. We may never know how other people may react.

The full LGBTQ movement actually started from 2015 onwards, when we started organising programmes on HIV. Then, in 2017, different LGBT communities and groups came together and we decided that HIV is not our only concern. That's when we decided to form Rainbow Bhutan.

Coming up with the most urgent concerns of the community was the most difficult part, unlike in other countries, where LGBT members have different organisations. In Bhutan, being a small community, we couldn't look at different sexualities and genders separately. The one thing we mutually agreed on is that there's a lot of pressure on us even though no one has persecuted our community before.

Although we didn't actively lobby for the removal of this law, we talked about it to people who were actually listening to us. That's how it led to our current move to decriminalise sections 213 and 214 by our National Assembly (NA). The finance minister [Namgay Tshering] stood up for us and pleaded to the NA. I mean, no one ever does that! No minister of any country speaks up for their marginalised community. So that was a sight to see!

The passing of the bill [in the Lower House of NA] happened after the current government started reviewing the 2011 penal code of Bhutan. The removal of Sections 213 and 214 was never on the agenda, neither was it recommended by the legal task force. On June 10, the Legislative Committee unanimously agreed on doing away with the sections.

When it actually happened, there was a rush of emotions. I saw my friends cry. I became speechless. I didn't know how to thank the ministers and the allies who actually stood with us. It was all surreal.

We have always believed that people never wanted to discriminate against us, or hated us for who we are. It's just that people didn't know about us. Even now, we have people coming to us and telling us they've never seen LGBTQ people. That's where we focus: on visibility and access to information. We went to schools, institutions, literally everywhere just to create awareness about us. People just need to understand, and they did!

Perhaps this is why Bhutan has also never had a single pride parade, and we don't plan on holding one. Pride parades are a form of activism where people go out on the streets and talk about policy and legal changes; that's not something that we Bhutanese agree with. Even as a marginalised community, we don't believe in going out on the streets. We believe in building human relations and talking one-to-one. Connecting heart-to-heart. That's where real change happens.

The Government had made gender a cross-cutting theme for the first time, in the Five-Year Plan for national development, and it had installed gender focal points in the Gross National Happiness Commission and the National Commission for Women and Children, he said. Women were also asserting themselves, participating in all walks of life, including politics, in increasing numbers.
