This problem is more intense in highly populated countries like Bangladesh. Most of the lushness of Bangladesh has now been faded away. Human life is now endangered along with country’s wetlands, floras and faunas.
Nature conservation initiatives are must to overcome the situation.
This unique Prokriti Mela (nature fair) is being organised to build awareness and encourage people for nature conservation. n
