Dagana District (Dzongkha: དར་དཀར་ན་རྫོང་ཁག) is a district in south-central Bhutan known for its subtropical climate, citrus orchards, and the historic Dagana Dzong. Located between the highlands and the southern foothills, the district is one of the most ethnically diverse regions in the country.
Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary
Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary is Bhutan's smallest protected area and its only tropical lowland wildlife sanctuary, spanning 268.93 square kilometres across the southern districts of Sarpang and Dagana. First designated as a reserved forest in 1974 and upgraded to a wildlife sanctuary in 1993, it protects Bhutan's only natural sal (Shorea robusta) forests and is the sole habitat of chital (spotted deer) in the country, while also providing critical habitat for Asian elephants, gaur, Bengal tigers, and the endangered golden langur.
Renaming of Places in Southern Bhutan
Between the 1950s and late 1990s, the Royal Government of Bhutan systematically renamed districts, towns, gewogs, and villages across southern Bhutan from their historical Nepali-origin names to Dzongkha names. Human rights organizations and refugee communities have characterized the renaming as part of a broader pattern of cultural erasure targeting the Lhotshampa population, while the Bhutanese government has framed parts of the process as linguistic standardization.
