Almost 80% of the population still lives in small villages scattered over the mountainous valleys, practicing Agriculture, growing the Bhutanese Red Rice, seasonal vegetables and fruits. Rice is the staple diet in Bhutan. The rich environment is still pristine and intact. Bhutan has almost 72% of the land area under forest cover harboring some of the most exotic species of wild life, flora and fauna. There are about 700 species of birds, 50 species of rhododendrons, besides variety of medicinal plants and orchids. Many areas which are identified and declared as wildlife reserve are the natural habitat of those rare species of flora, fauna and the wild life. Bhutan has been identified as one of the ten bio-diversity hot spots in the world.
