Naturel Bangladesh

Beautify Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a small country having a total area of 147570 sq km. Although it is a small country, it is enriched with natural beauty and resources. Those who love nature and natural beauty come here to take pleasure.       
 
 
The Bangladeshi government and NGOs, such as the Bangladesh Disaster Preparedness Center, constantly strive to decrease the devastating effects of natural disasters.  Examining recorded climate data can give clues to the future.
Environmental risk advisory firm Maple croft has named Bangladesh the country most vulnerable to natural disasters on their Natural Disasters Risk Index.  Surveying incidents of natural disasters, and the material and human costs of those disasters over a period of 30 years, Maple croft placed Bangladesh at the head of the 15 countries with an “extreme risk” rating.

The Shundar bans is the largest mangrove forest of the world. This is the land of rare plants and animals. You can see Royal Bengal Tiger, a lot of deer, monkeys, and elephants and so on. The real beauty of Shundar bans is the Shundori tree which is really exceptional. Various types of birds always charm the tourists.

In 2004, floods on the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Jamuna, and Meghna affected 30 million people and submerged 40% of Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka. Estimates put the death toll at 500,000 people, making it the deadliest tropical storm in recorded history.  Global warming may exacerbate future natural disasters.  As portions of southern Bangladesh are at or barely above sea level, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has named Bangladesh the country most vulnerable to rising sea levels, projecting a sea level rise of 1.5 meters would submerge 16% of the country and affect 17 million people.
