Red panda

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also known as the lesser panda, is a small mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It has dense reddish-brown fur with a black belly and legs, white-lined ears, a mostly white muzzle and a ringed tail. Its head-to-body length is 51–63.5 cm (20.1–25.0 in) with a 28–48.5 cm (11.0–19.1 in) tail, and it weighs between 3.2 and 15 kg (7.1 and 33.1 lb). It is well adapted to climbing due to its flexible joints and curved semi-retractile claws. The red panda was formally described in 1825. The two currently recognised subspecies, the Himalayan and the Chinese red panda, genetically diverged about 250,000 years ago. The red panda's place on the evolutionary tree has been debated, but modern genetic evidence places it in close affinity with raccoons, weasels, and skunks. It is not closely related to the giant panda, which is a bear, though both possess elongated wrist bones or "false thumbs" used for grasping bamboo. The evolutionary lineage of the red panda (Ailuridae) stretches back around 25 to 18 million years ago, as indicated by extinct fossil relatives found in Eurasia and North America. The red panda inhabits coniferous forests as well as temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, favouring steep slopes with dense bamboo cover close to water sources. It is solitary and largely arboreal. It feeds mainly on bamboo shoots and leaves, but also on fruits and blossoms. Red pandas mate in early spring, with the females giving birth to litters of up to four cubs in summer. It is threatened by poaching as well as destruction and fragmentation of habitat due to deforestation. The species has been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2015. It is protected in all range countries. Community-based conservation programmes have been initiated in Nepal, Bhutan and northeastern India; in China, it benefits from nature conservation projects. Regional captive breeding programmes for the red panda have been established in zoos around the world. It is featured in animated movies, video games, comic books and as the namesake of companies and music bands.

Jigme Singye Wangchuck

Jigme Singye Wangchuck (Dzongkha: འཇིགས་མེད་སེང་གེ་དབང་ཕྱུག་, Wylie: jigs med seng ge dbang phyug; born 11 November 1955) is the fourth Druk Gyalpo (Dragon King) of Bhutan, reigning from 1972 to 2006. He is the father of the present King of Bhutan Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck. He is the only son of five children born to the Third King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck and Queen Mother Ashi Kesang Choden. Jigme Singye Wangchuck studied at St. Joseph's School, Darjeeling, in India. In January 1965, he attended Summerfields School in St. Leonards, Sussex, England, and then Heatherdown School in 1966 where he completed his studies in 1969. After completion of his studies in 1970, he was appointed as the Chairman of the National Planning Commission in the year 1971 by the Third King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck. At the age of 16, he was appointed as the Trongsa Penlop and bestowed with saffron scarf. On July 21, 1972, the Third King of Bhutan passed away, and at the age of 16, Crown Prince Jigme Singye Wangchuck, ascended the throne, becoming the world's youngest monarch at the time. Just three days after his father's passing, the Crown Prince assumed leadership of the government and the nation. His coronation ceremony was later held on June 2, 1974, in Thimphu. During his reign, Bhutan transitioned from an Absolute Monarchy to Democratic Constitutional Monarchy. This progress towards to a Democratic Constitutional Monarchy started with decentralization of power to people on the grass root level. He initiated Dzongkhag Yargye Tshogdu (DYT) in 1981 and the Gewog Yargye Tshogchung (GYT) in 1991 in order to ensure people's participation and local governance. In 2001, a Constitution Drafting Committee was established under royal decree. The King personally presented the Constitution of Bhutan to citizens across all 20 Dzongkhags, with every word considered meaningful and sanctified by the people. It was introduced as "the People's Constitution," symbolizing its alignment with the aspirations of the Bhutanese people. The Constitution of Bhutan was enacted July 18, 2008 by the Royal Government. He introduced the Gross National Happiness (GNH) philosophy in the early 1970s, emphasizing holistic development over purely economic growth. In 2003, he personally led Operation All Clear, a military campaign to expel insurgent groups from southern Bhutan, marking a unique instance of a head of state leading troops into action. After 34 years of rule, he voluntarily abdicated in 2006 at 51 years old, overseeing a peaceful transition to Democracy through a transparent constitutional process. Throughout his reign, Jigme Singye Wangchuck implemented various socio-economic policies to enhance the quality of life in Bhutan. He emphasized the need to develop industry, agriculture, hydroelectricity, and infrastructural projects while prioritizing environmental and cultural preservation. The success of these policies can be seen in indicators such as increased access to education and healthcare, improvements in infrastructure, and the promotion of Bhutan's unique cultural heritage. He was also responsible for the development of new policies in the environment and improved access to education and healthcare.
