How carelessness can destroy a national bamboo park?

The country’s first national bamboo park is disappearing due to negligence and carelessness. In 2012, the forest department took an initiative to protect threatened varieties of bamboo by creating this national bamboo park in Sylhet. The following year, the park was inaugurated at Forest School and Training Institute on June 6, where 23 varieties of bamboo were planted.
 However, in just nine years, the bamboo park disappeared and only a handful of bamboo bushes survived. The initiative was taken by the Wildlife Conservation and Eco-Tourism Development Project, for which approximately 1.417 hectares of land, including two hillocks, was selected.
 While visiting the bamboo park recently, only small bushes of four varieties of bamboo were witnessed. Bamboo varieties in the plain-land were destroyed every year they were planted. This bamboo park could have been a milestone in the conservation of rare and threatened varieties of bamboo. But carelessness killed the park.
 The planted varieties of bamboo are Kalshi, Pecha, Rupahi, Tenga, Jai, Muli, Thai Barua, Kata Barua, Pali Marka, Kanchi, Budum, Kali, Sonali, Dolu, Makal, Mritinga, Tetua, Ora, Betua, Porua, Barua, Botom, Rangan and Parua.
 Local forest officer said that he is not aware of such a park and project, while forest guards are involved with banishing the park. The government should preserve the park, as bamboo has high importance both environmentally and economically.
