earnestness, the authors would like to appeal to policy makers and fellow<br />
conservationists, both in the Royal Government of Bhutan and in the international<br />
community, to help promote designation of the Royal Manas, Black Mountains,<br />
and Jigme Dorji National <strong>Parks</strong> as World Heritage Sites. As illustrated by this<br />
paper, these three protected areas have significant ecological, social, economic,<br />
aesthetic, and spiritual values not only for the Bhutanese people but also for the<br />
world population at large.<br />
