Bhutan for Life Environmental and Social Management Plan for Jomotsangkha Wildlife Sanctuary
The 2020 ESMP for Jomotsangkha Wildlife Sanctuary (JWS) outlines mitigation strategies for five key activities: the construction of a head office, improvement of waterholes and salt licks, restoration of lowland grasslands, river protection work, and maintenance of staff quarters. It integrates Bhutanese national law with WWF's Social Safeguards Integrated Policies and Procedures (SIPP), prioritizing the more stringent WWF standards where discrepancies exist, particularly regarding compensation for non-title land users and community consultation. The plan details specific environmental risks, such as vegetation clearing and aquatic habitat disturbance, and social risks, including water-source conflicts between construction workers and local communities. Implementation is managed by BFL focal persons and contractors, with a monitoring framework involving weekly field visits and quarterly reports to ensure compliance.
