A Glimpse into Motithang Takin Preserve’s Origins

The Motithang Takin Preserve wasn’t always a wildlife sanctuary. It was originally a royal zoo but was later transformed into a preserve when the Fourth King of Bhutan decided that animals should not be kept in captivity. 

The Takins were released into the wild, but to everyone’s surprise, they stayed close to the area, leading to the creation of the preserve we know today. This transformation speaks volumes about Bhutan’s commitment to respecting wildlife and preserving its natural beauty.
