More than 50% of Bangladesh’s
forest has disappeared in the last 30 years and today, the
forests in sanctuaries and national parks – collectively known
as "Protected Areas" – are critically threatened. At this rate
of degradation, many unique flora and fauna will be lost
forever.
As a response, the Forest Department has created a new Protected
Areas Management Program entitled "Nishorgo". USAID is providing
financial assistance to the Program through Nishorgo Support
Project. The Nishorgo Program is a comprehensive effort to
improve the management of the country's Protected Areas.
Nishorgo focuses on building partnership between the Forest
Department and key local, regional and national stakeholders
that can assist in conservation efforts.
