In August 2023, the Swallowtail & Birdwing Butterfly Trust provided a grant to wildlife documentary maker, Sonam Dorji, to produce a short film on the Bhutan Glory (Bhutanitis lidderdalii) and Ludlow’s Bhutan Glory (Bhutanitis ludlowi).
Sonam, who is based in Bhutan, discovered a site in 2020 where both species fly in the same location, something which had not previously been observed elsewhere.
The grant will support Sonam to produce a documentary video on the life cycle of both species of Bhutanitis which will be used to help ensure the future of these butterflies through education, conservation and ecotourism.
