This dataset is part of a larger, nationwide checklist that was used to publish the ‘Biodiversity Statistics of Bhutan 2017, A Preliminary Baseline’ (BSB 2017). This document was published in 2019 and is the first comprehensive overview of Bhutan's species richness, recording more than 11,000 species across the seven kingdoms.
This specific dataset 'Bhutan: Chromista & Eubacteria species' provides a checklist of the 57 species from the Chromista kingdom (including two species that were listed as being from the Protista kingdom in the BSB 2017), in addition to the 18 species from the Eubacteria kingdom that are found in Bhutan.
Purpose
The main objective of this publication is to develop a preliminary report on the biodiversity statistics of Bhutan upon validation from data providers, and to create biodiversity statistics baselines for the country. It also aims to provide up-to-date species checklists annually, by keeping track of new species records and discoveries in Bhutan. Additionally, this report provides a reliable reference point for scientists, researchers, civil servants and citizens interested in Bhutan’s biodiversity.
