## Caption

Photos by amivitale | Bhutan is a kingdom that uses happiness as its guiding principle, measuring progress not in dollars but in gross national happiness. This approach values community, compassion, and a deep connection to the land. Despite being one of the smallest countries in the world, Bhutan demonstrates a remarkable commitment to conservation.

As one of the few carbon-negative countries, Bhutan mandates in its constitution that at least 60 percent of its land remain under forest cover indefinitely, ensuring its people can maintain a fundamental right to live in a healthy environment.

On this #WorldHappinessDay, I am reminded that wildness is not separate from us; it is a source of inspiration and strength.
