The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna estuary forms the central and most dynamic part of the coastal zone of Bangladesh. It is being shaped by a complex pattern of interactions between phenomena as the discharge of water, the sediment load, tidal forces, and estuarine circulation. This leads to a permanent process of formation and erosion of land and, indeed, to moving coastlines. It is a unique environment, not seen at this scale in any other part of the world.

This book aims to puncture two popular myths: that Bangladesh is a flat alluvial plain where soil fertility is maintained by silt provided by annual floods; and that the country will be overwhelmed contour by contour by sea-level rise in the 21st century which will displace many million people.

In the latest Assessment Report of Working Group II, the IPCC has mentioned that IWRM should be one of the key instrument to explore adaptation measures to climate change, although it is still in its infancy.

The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) has lost its majestic look. The hills are barren today. The forest resources have decreased to such great extent that official logging that the Bangladesh Forest industry Development Corporation (BFIDC) had performd for decades has come to an end. The Kaptai Dam, Karnaphuli Paper Mill (KPM) and other ‘development icons’ manifest concrete evidences of the ecological devastation today. The indigenous peoples who had a free run in the forest for generations now witness their nexus with nature torn.

Bangladesh has been hit for centuries by the Bay of Bengal tropical cyclones. In terms of human casualties, the country is the worst global cyclone victim. Most of the cyclonic havocs are caused by the cyclone generated storm surges. Cyclones cannot be stopped from forming. The only way we are left with is to know how to live with them. In spite of the fact that Bangladesh has developed over the years much better cyclone preparedness programmes, we are still far away from knowing well the ‘enemy’ cyclone.

সবুজ সৌন্দর্যে বাংলাদেশের তুলনা মেলা কঠিন। তারপরও দেশটি বন সম্পদে মোটেও সমৃদ্ধ নয়। ১৯২৭ সালে বন আইন সংস্কারের সময় বর্তমান বাংলাদেশ ভূ-খণ্ডে বনভূমির পরিমাণ ছিল মোট আয়তনের ২০ শতাংশ। বর্তমানে তা কমে ছয় শতাংশে নেমে এসেছে। এ পরিসংখ্যানও প্রশ্নাতীত নয়। দেশের দক্ষিণ-পশ্চিমাঞ্চলে সুন্দরবন ছাড়া সত্যিকারের বন বলতে যা কিছু অবশিষ্ট আছে তা ছিটেফোঁটা মাত্র। বনভুমির অনেক জায়গায় তৈরি করা যে কৃত্রিম বনায়ন দেখি তা যে প্রকৃত অর্থে বন নয় তা বলার অপেক্ষা রাখে না। সরকারি বনভূমিতে বৃক্ষ ফিরিয়ে আনার চেষ্টা আছে। তবে বিদেশী ঋণের টাকায় ও প্রায় ক্ষেত্রে বিদেশী প্রজাতি দিয়ে বনায়নের যে চেষ্টা তাতে কিছু গা
