Conservation and the sustainable use of biodiversity are essential for ecologically sustainable development. Biodiversity is an integral part of our daily lives and livelihoods, providing resources crucial for the well-being of families, communities, nations, and future generations. The diversity of life forms is vital in meeting human needs, offering a wide range of options for sustainable economic activities, supporting human welfare, and facilitating adaptation to change. The loss of biodiversity carries significant economic and social costs for any country.
Recently, I participated in a field trip alongside some fellow classmates and our educator. This trip to Bandarban was part of our academic requirements, allowing us to witness firsthand the biological changes occurring in Bangladesh. Accompanied by our esteemed instructor, Mr. Kamrul Hasan, a professor at Independent University Bangladesh, we explored various biologically enriched locations within the greater Bandarban administrative district in the Chittagong division of Bangladesh. In this district, 30 tribal groups inhabit the area, with the 'Marma' being the largest ethnic group.
