The unique landscape features of the Kingdom of Bhutan, associated with contrasting topography, abrupt height differences at short distances and with large amounts of monsoon precipitation in the summer time, are considered. The main feature in the landscapes of this region is determined: exceptional diversity of vegetation cover and animals. An analysis is made of the subtropical, temperate and alpine landscape-ecofloristic zones. In each of the zones, subtropical, temperate, subarctic (alpine type) and nival altitudinal belts are identified. A brief description of high-altitude belts and types of vegetation and animals is given. It is established that the largest space here is occupied by subtropical, broad-leaved and coniferous forests (80.9%) which stretch from the foot of the mountains to almost 3500 m above the sea level. The zones and belts are characterized by exceptional biodiversity with a large number of endemic fauna and flora. The system of protected areas of Bhutan is described, and a brief account of its national parks, and biological corridors is given. Attention is focused on the rational and careful attitude of the royal government toward nature, implying the establishment of national parks, nature preserves and wildlife sanctuaries which occupy half of the entire area of the State.

不丹王国的保护区和生物多样性

不丹王国独特的景观特征与对比鲜明的地形、短距离突然的高度差异以及夏季大量季风降水有关，都被考虑在内。该地区景观的主要特征是：植被和动物的多样性。对亚热带、温带和高山景观生态区进行了分析。在每个区域中，确定了亚热带、温带、亚北极（高山类型）和尼瓦尔海拔带。简要描述了高海拔带以及植被和动物的类型。确定这里最大的空间被亚热带、阔叶和针叶林 (80.9%) 占据，从山脚延伸到海拔近 3500 m。这些区域和地带的特点是拥有大量特有动植物的特殊生物多样性。描述了不丹的保护区系统，并简要介绍了其国家公园和生物走廊。注意力集中在皇家政府对自然的理性和谨慎态度上，这意味着建立国家公园、自然保护区和野生动物保护区，它们占据了整个国家的一半面积。
