The three hill-tracts of Bangladesh namely Rangamati, Khagrachari & Bandarban are not only commendable for there natural beauty but these regions are also full of natural resources. These account for one-third forest resources of our country. Wild animals, trees, agricultural resources etc are found aplenty in these regions. Recently, a news report was published in one newspaper that a wild elephant was found dead in Bandarban. More than 12 elephants were killed by poachers in recent times. It is alarming news for us.
