The Environmental Education Program under Communications and membership Division is envisioned to impart environmental knowledge and skills among the youth and citizens for promoting positive attitudes and sustainable actions in conserving Bhutan’s rich environmental heritage. RSPN’s Environmental Education Program has developed an extensive network of Nature Clubs in schools and colleges in the Kingdom, engaging local communities in conservation activities and introduced Environmental Science in the formal curriculum for classed IX and X.

RSPN’s research program is in support of RSPN’s goal of increasing the knowledge on Bhutanese environment and sustainable livelihood, our conservation programs are based on knowledge generated from the research on environment and development conducted by our research researchers. The research program of RSPN is functioning as a ‘service unit’, within the organization, with the mandate to provide research services to all other implementing programs. RSPN has not yet been recognized as well established research institutions, that gets the credit it deserves. Therefore, RSPN is conducting its research in collaboration with national, regional and International Agencies, with the objectives to built in-house research capacity.
