Vanishing wetlands
The time is appropriate for the CTG, NGOs, local communities and non-profit organisations in Bangladesh to collaborate more effectively and start working together towards a "cleaner Dhaka city," or to at least protect wetlands in Dhaka from the pressure of development to ensure desirable biodiversity. This writer was quite alarmed during a recent phone conversation with a relative, who was visiting Boston. It was alarming because my relative said that there were hardly any wetlands in Bangladesh that may be considered active.
