Our flora and fauna

The environment of Bangladesh includes flora and fauna and their natural habitats. The greater part of the human inhabitants lives in or around big cities and this has helped to limit deforestation slightly. Nevertheless, the growth rate continues to amplify at an alarming rate and this has created huge demands on the environment and leads to destruction of several natural habitats. Despite the fact that quite a lot of areas are sheltered under law, a great segment of Bangladeshi wildlife is in jeopardy by this expansion. Bangladesh is home to approximately 22 species of amphibian, 17 species of marine reptiles, 109 species of reptile, 388 species of birds, 110 species of mammals and 3 species of marine mammals. Until now, countless creatures have moved out fully from the country and an added 201 species are endangered. Distinguished species that have vanished from Bangladesh are the one-horned rhinoceros, the two-horned rhinoceros, the hog deer and swamp deer, wolf, marsh crocodile and wild buffalo. In a nutshell, such a huge loss affects the atmosphere and brings about ecological imbalances.
