Bhutan is known to have 5000 species of plants, which include 300 species of medicinal plants, 600 species of orchids and more than species of rhododendrons. It has been identified as the centre of 221 global endemic bird areas. The country signed the Convention on Biological Diversity and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
