Harun-ur-Rashid, M. Enamur Rashid and M. Atiqur Rahman* Department of Botany, University of Chittagong Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The study aimed at inventorying of threatened plant species of Bangladesh to determine their status of occurrence for emphasizing the setting-up of national conservation strategies and sustainable management. Complete inventory of two families, the Apocynaceae and Vitaceae, has been made and recognized 28 threatened species facing environmental threats, and need sustainable conservation management. The study was based on long-term field investigation, survey of relevant floristic literature and examination of herbarium specimens. An enumeration of threatened taxa is prepared with updated field data on conservation status to include into Red Data Book of Bangladesh. Key words: Inventory, threatened plant species, conservation, management, Bangladesh. Introduction Global biodiversity is depleting at an alarming rate due to human interferences and environmental degradation, causing high risk of extinction. Human impact on nature has reached at such a high proportion that the world is today witnessing an unprecedented rate of species loss. Many more species are disappearing from the nature before their discovery and determination. The 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants revealed that 12.5% or c.34,000 of the world’s vascular plant species are at risk of extinction, including 7% of family International Journal of Environment ISSN 2091-2854 141 | P a g e Apocynaceae and 5% of Vitaceae (Walter & Gillett, 1998).

    Small town sanitation learning series Sakhipur, Bangladesh July 2020 View of the co-composting plant and its drying beds in the foreground WaterAid/ Al-Emran WaterAid/ Key messages 1. The small town of Sakhipur is on track to achieve town-wide safely managed sanitation, the result of technical excellence (including its co-composting plant), political drive, a clear vision, and support by WaterAid Bangladesh. 2. Local partnerships are vital to close the sanitation service chain such as the Agricultural Extension Department. 3. The sanitation vision includes both considering sanitation as a service and using the principles of circular economy. 4. Fostering municipal leadership and ownership is a slow but critical process, which can be the focus of national level advocacy for future replication. 1 / Small town sanitation learning series Sakhipur, Bangladesh July 2020 1. Introduction WaterAid Bangladesh (WAB) and the Bangladesh Association for Social Advancement (BASA) have supported Sakhipur Municipality both technically and financially to establish a co-composting plant in 2015. The plant treats both faecal sludge and organic solid waste to produce compost. The technical achievement has been well recognised and documented. This brief is mainly focusing at non-technical aspects, especially how this plant (and work around it) is paving the way for full safely-managed sanitation in the town, what has led to this success, and how it could be replicated. 2. Context Bangladesh has impressively reached almost zero open defecation and is now facing the “second generation” challenge of faecal sludge management (FSM) – with 32% “safely managed sanitation” in rural areas, and no urban estimate.
