The ESMP for Biological Corridor Six (BC 6) in Bhutan outlines the environmental and social safeguards for two primary 2021 activities: the construction of a Range Office at Warmrong and the restoration of waterholes at Wangshingla and Nysangla. The document provides a baseline of the corridor's geography, climate, and biodiversity, noting that BC 6 covers 270.80 km² and supports endangered species like the Red Panda and Sapria himalayana. It details specific mitigation measures for water access, noise, air quality, waste, and occupational health and safety, with a total budget of Nu. 5.175 million for activities and an additional Nu. 60,000 for mitigation. Implementation is led by BFL focal persons in coordination with the Department of Forests and Park Services (DoFPS) and WWF safeguards.
