    Truth is that the reason privatization of forests is gaining steam across the world, is because there is now enough evidence to sufficiently conclude that productive deforestation is not advancing at a fast enough pace. (Brown C, Valentine J. 1992) Deforestation (defined as “the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands for either productive or non-productive use”) by staying in most government entities (with a few exceptions such as New Zealand) is actually doing more harm than good by not achieving its potential.…

    1.1- Introduction Availability of natural resources and their proper application to overall development activities is the key factor for the economic growth of any nation. Bangladesh, though it is a small country of about 143,998 sq km, has a number of mineral resources within its territory. The mineral resources so far discovered are mineral fuels (oil, gas, coal, peat), hard rock, limestone, white clay, glass sand and heavy mineral sands. It was previously assumed that the geological setting of Bangladesh was more suitable for hydrocarbon accumulation than for any other mineral deposits as the greater part of Bangladesh is covered by thick alluvium. Nowadays, the assumption has been changed as it is proved by detailed geological and geophysical explorations that Bangladesh is rich not only in hydrocarbon accumulation but that it also has huge deposits of coal and hard rock in its north-northwestern part.…

    Tropical rainforest is important for maintaining the ecological balance in Bangladesh, and forestry contributes 1.9 percent to the GDP (1999-2000). The forest covers around 17 percent of the country's territory, or 2.5 million hectares (6.18 million acres). The timber is used by the construction industry as a source of building materials, by the printing industry as a source of materials to produce paper, and in the agricultural sector as a source of firewood. Commercial logging is limited to around 6.1 million cubic feet, and the government plans to plant more trees within the next 15 years.…

    This work focuses on the aspects of understanding the important features of the Bangladesh environment that need to be essentially understood. The purpose of the report is to present the findings of a review done on the environment sector. The review considered the ongoing and past interventions, legal and policy regimes and finally outlined the outstanding issues facing the sector. Since environment is vast and broad and cut across almost all the formal sectors, the review was conducted as exhaustively as possible to cover all. While tabling the recommendations, recent policy directives like the National Strategy for Economic Growth; Poverty Reduction and Social Development (NS-EGPRSD); MDG etc. have been kept in mind.…

    by Abdul Wahab Akonda Area: 144,054 sq.km. Population: 104,000,000 (1987). Bangladesh lies between latitudes 20°34 'N and 26°38 'N and longitudes 88°0l 'E and 92°41 'E. It is bounded by India in the west and north, by India and Burma in the east, and by the Bay of Bengal in the south. Zoogeographically, Bangladesh is an interesting country lying at the junction of the Indian and Malayan sub-regions of the Indomalayan Realm. The country has a very long history of human settlement and agriculture. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and the population continues to increase at about 2.6-2.9% per year. Bangladesh may be divided into four physical regions: the Ganges- Brahmaputra Delta, the Barind Tract, the Central Region and the Chittagong Region. The Ganges, Brahmaputra, Meghna and several smaller rivers unite in Bangladesh to form the largest deltaic system in the world. The flood plains and coastal mangrove swamps of this delta cover almost one-third of the country. The older parts of the delta, in the north, are comparatively high with sandy soils; the lower central parts are subject to extensive flooding every rainy season, and the accreting coastal zone (Sundarbans) is subject to regular tidal inundation. The Barind Tract consists of a group of high clay terraces of Pleistocene age in the northwestern part of the delta, except in Pabna and Bogra Districts. The soils are yellow or reddish in colour, in contrast to the grey or brown alluvial deposits of the plains. The land is undulating, and in the north, slopes rapidly up to the Himalayan foothills. The Central Region includes the Madhupur Tract, the Haor Basin of Mymensingh arid Sylhet Districts, and the Tippera Surface. The Madhupur Tract is a region of raised undulating land with reddish soils, in Jamalpur, Tangail, parts of Mymensingh and parts of Dhaka. In the north, the land slopes gently up to the foot of the Garo Hills, the southernmost of which lie…

    Bangladesh is a sovereign state located in South Asia. It is bordered by India on all sides except for a small border with Burma (Myanmar) to the far southeast and by the Bay of Bengal to the south.
