Aquaculture has the potential to generate multiple benefits for communities. Supporting fish harvesting groups not only increases fish farmers’ income but also the consumption of nutrient-rich fish.
Wetland habitats support a rich diversity of life, but 35% of the world’s wetlands have disappeared in the last 50 years. Wetland restoration not only increases biodiversity but their ability to produce ecosystem services for the benefit of people. Forested watersheds and wetlands provide 75% of the world’s accessible freshwater.
* Revive biodiversity
* Improve water supply
* Store carbon
* Reduce extreme weather
* Improve livelihoods
* Boost eco-tourism
* Enhance well-being
Numerous environmental issues, such as biodiversity loss, are being brought on by deforestation. Previously, rivers, canals, and wells provided 25% of the water needed for irrigation, but these resources are no longer accessible. The country experiences floods, droughts, and excessive rain due to the coastal region’s yearly exposure to sea tides. The World Resources Institute estimates that only 5% of Bangladesh’s total land area is covered in forests, despite the fact that the nation has 10.3% of its land covered in forest, or 1.52 million hectares. Therefore, it is now everyone’s responsibility to plant trees. As a result, it is now necessary for us to raise awareness of the value of tree planting among our local people. Mangrove protection & restoration is an effective Nature based solution to combat climate change.
