The
recent international conference on “Challenges of the Anthropocene” held at Sherubtse
College was undoubtedly a brilliant educational setting for the researchers,
academicians and scholars to exchange and deliberate the dominant human invasion
on Earth’s geology and the ecosystem.
As
we live at the crossroads of the accelerating yet annihilating anthropogenic activity
and decelerating and shrinking ecology, the forum as to such, plays a vibrant role in
amalgamating ideas to counter the consequences of our unlimited greed posed
over the limited mother nature. It was also an era of opportunity for the
intellectuals to draw the meaning of our existence and question the sustenance
of our survival at the time when Anthropocene is witnessed as the era of challenge
universally.
As
one of the presenters during the conference, it was an electrifying honour for
me to present in the attendance of the experts and the elites. Such privilege
which is occasional and priceless, not only exposed me to the world of
academics and research constructions but also facilitated professional
growth in me by having access to network with the scholars around. After
toiling with abundant sacrifices to shape my research paper into a scholarly
form, getting a chance to present in the calibre of such a conference rekindled
my enthusiasm with a renewed motivation which would only bolster to pursuit further.
For
making this dream possible, I would like to thank Mr Tshering Wangdi, the President of the Sherubtse
College and the Geography Department for conceiving and hosting the conference.
Also thanks to Mr Pema Dorji, the Chief District Education Officer of Wangdue
district and Mr Shankar Lal Dahal, Principal of Bajothang Higher Secondary
School for granting me leave. My gratitude also extends to Mr Ugyen Penjor, Bhutan Power Corporation, Mr Pema Wangdi, Lecturer, Sherubtse College, Mr Tashi Rabten, Teacher, Tashigang Pam CPS, and Mr Tawai Tshering for the hospitality.

age and now human beings will be the shapers of our future, that totally
control the overall functions of not just our plant, but our relationship with
other planets”
