Bhutan did something almost no country on Earth has done: they put trees in the constitution.
Not a vague "we care about nature" type promise but an actual number. At least 60% of the country must remain under forest cover for all time.
They met the goal and blew past it.
About 70% of Bhutan is forested, which is one reason this small Himalayan country is one of the few carbon-negative nations on Earth. It absorbs more carbon than it emits.
That doesn't mean Bhutan has no emissions. It does. But its forests and land absorb more than the country puts out.
Which is kind of wild when you think about it, because most countries treat forests like a resource to be used and abused as needed.
Bhutan treated them more like national infrastructure. They looked at their forests and decided they weren't just leftover land waiting to be used for something.
*तेलंगाना सरकार की शानदार पहल। इसे पूरे भारत में लागू किया जाना चाहिए। शायद समझदार व्यक्ति इसे देखने के बाद आगे फॉरवर्ड करने से अपने आप को मुश्किल से ही रोक पाएगा
