  • The Conservation Action Plan the Ganges River Dolphin
    THE CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN FOR THE GANGES RIVER DOLPHIN 2010-2020 National Ganga River Basin Authority Ministry of Environment & Forests Government of India Prepared by R. K. Sinha, S. Behera and B. C. Choudhary 2 MINISTER’S FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the Conservation Action Plan for the Ganges river dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) in the Ganga river basin. The Gangetic Dolphin is one of the last three surviving river dolphin species and we have declared it India's National Aquatic Animal. Its conservation is crucial to the welfare of the Ganga river ecosystem. Just as the Tiger represents the health of the forest and the Snow Leopard represents the health of the mountainous regions, the presence of the Dolphin in a river system signals its good health and biodiversity. This Plan has several important features that will ensure the existence of healthy populations of the Gangetic dolphin in the Ganga river system. First, this action plan proposes a set of detailed surveys to assess the population of the dolphin and the threats it faces. Second, immediate actions for dolphin conservation, such as the creation of protected areas and the restoration of degraded ecosystems, are detailed. Third, community involvement and the mitigation of human-dolphin conflict are proposed as methods that will ensure the long-term survival of the dolphin in the rivers of India. This Action Plan will aid in their conservation and reduce the threats that the Ganges river dolphin faces today. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. R. K. Sinha , Dr. S. K. Behera and Dr.

For sustainable development of hill tracts, electricity is inseparable. Like other parts of Bangladesh hill tracts districts felt increasing demand of electricity. In this paper an attempt has been taken to present the existing environmental condition and analysis the future environmental condition after implementation of project. Electrification will extend the length of the active day. Electrification will improve security (people’s perception of safety and security) at the region. The elements of the project identified as components for analysis are chosen based on DOE’s guideline. The study showed that 87% people say that they feel safer at night since being electrified. Impacts are classified on the basis of EPA’s scaling and DOE, university’s teachers, NGOs expert’s opinions. Value more than 10 is classified significantly affected element of the project.

  • Conservation of Gangetic Dolphin in Brahmaputra River System, India
    CONSERVATION OF GANGETIC DOLPHIN IN BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER SYSTEM, INDIA Final Technical Report A. Wakid Project Leader, Gangetic Dolphin Conservation Project Assam, India Email: [email protected] 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There was no comprehensive data on the conservation status of Gangetic dolphin in Brahmaputra river system for last 12 years. Therefore, it was very important to undertake a detail study on the species from the conservation point of view in the entire river system within Assam, based on which site and factor specific conservation actions would be worthwhile. However, getting the sponsorship to conduct this task in a huge geographical area of about 56,000 sq. km. itself was a great problem. The support from the BP Conservation Programme (BPCP) and the Rufford Small Grant for Nature Conservation (RSG) made it possible for me. I am hereby expressing my sincere thanks to both of these Funding Agencies for their great support to save this endangered species. Besides their enormous workload, Marianne Dunn, Dalgen Robyn, Kate Stoke and Jaimye Bartake of BPCP spent a lot of time for my Project and for me through advise, network and capacity building, which helped me in successful completion of this project. I am very much grateful to all of them. Josh Cole, the Programme Manager of RSG encouraged me through his visit to my field area in April, 2005. I am thankful to him for this encouragement.

  • Political Economy of the Concept of Export Processing Zones and Its Contribution to the National Economy
    Political economy of the concept of Export Processing Zones and its contribution to the national economy Kazal Asgar Deputy Manager (Enterprise Services) Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) Dhaka BEA Membership no. 2516 After liberation the newly independent Bangladesh aspired to boost up its economy through industrialization. In view of the growing need of attracting foreign and local investment, the concept of Export Processing Zones (EPZs) established to enhance investment, employment, export, to transfer technology and earn foreign exchanges. By this way in 08 (eight) EPZs now there have total 555 industrial enterprises where only 430 are in operation. The cumulative investment in these is US$ 3,188.07 million and almost 3,89,017 Bangladeshi people are employed in the EPZ enterprises. The cumulative export from the EPZs is US$ 40,027.67 million. Centering an EPZ, the economy sets up backward and forward linkages and supportive service industries which create employment opportunity especially for women and overall industrial localization. In this way it contributes to alleviate poverty and inequality creating an economy for the mass people. Bangladesh has 08 (eight) EPZs under the regulation of Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) as mentioned in the below table: No. Name of EPZ Year of establishment Where it is 1 Chittagong EPZ 1983 Halishohor, Chittagong 2 Dhaka EPZ 1993 Ashulia, Dhaka 3 Comilla EPZ 2000 Comilla Town 4 Ishwardi EPZ 2001 Pabna 5 Uttara EPZ 2001 Nilphamari 6 Mongla EPZ 1999 Mongla, Bagerhat 7 Adamjee EPZ 2006 Siddirgonj, Narayangonj 8 Karnaphuli EPZ 2006 Potenga, Chittagong Out of these the four i.e.

It includes: 1. Bio-Geography: The study of the geographic distribution of organisms. 2. Climatology: The study of climate or weather conditions averaged over a period of time. 3. Geomorphology or Physiographic: The scientific study of landforms and processes that shape them. 4. Glaciology: The study of glaciers and ice sheets. 5. Oceanography: The study of all aspects of the ocean including temperature, ocean current, salinity, fauna and flora, etc. 6. Pedology: The study of various types of Soils. 4 HUMAN GEOGRAPHY Human geography deals with the perspective of human and its functions as well as its interaction with the environment. It studies people, communities and cultures with an emphasis on relations of land across space. It includes: 1. Cultural Geography: The study of the spatial variations among cultural groups and spatial functioning of the society.

  • Studies on Heavy Metal Pollution of Karnaphuli River, Chittagong, Bangladesh
    IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399.Volume 9, Issue 8 Ver. I (Aug. 2015), PP 79-83 www.iosrjournals.org Studies on Heavy Metal Pollution of Karnaphuli River, Chittagong, Bangladesh Sujan Dey1, Jewel Das2 and M. A. Manchur1 1.

Abstract: The Karnaphuli, a major river of Bangladesh, is polluted in several ways particularly through industrial and sewage disposal. Increased anthropogenic activities have increased the potential pollution of the river, especially, the heavy metal pollutants which may be toxic to humans and aquatic fauna. Presence of heavy metals in the river water causes perilous impact on the aquatic organisms. Hence, regular monitoring of pollution levels in the river is indispensable. The present study dealt with the heavy metals distribution viz. Cadmium (Pb),Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb) and Nickel (Ni) in water of Karnaphuli River during rainy and winter seasons. Four stations were selected for collection of water samples in different locations. Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) analysis of water sample of four discharge points reveals that the concentration of Lead (Pb) may be very low as AAS could not detect the amount present in the water samples, whereas, that of Nickel (Ni) and Cadmium (Cd) were comparatively high. Chromium (Cr) was detected relatively low throughout the study period. The concentration of heavy metals showed seasonal variation and it was higher in winter season than rainy season in most of the station.
