Snails in the Chanda Beel area
    Khan, M. Saiful Islam | Hussain, Md. Belayet | Chakraborty, Tapas Ranjan

Through this study undertaken in the in the Modhumoti floodplain area, an attempt has been made to learn about the volume of snail harvesting, trends, marketing channels and the overall snail trade cycle. Since the demand for snails is now high, more and more people are becoming involved in its harvesting and it has become difficult to regenerate the resource base, which is already in a critical state. The total snail harvest, though not very large has registered gradual decline. If the current unregulated harvesting continues the commercial snail species pila globosa will become endangered within its own territory in the very near future.
Participatory problem census in Pagnar and Sanuar-Dakuar haors
    Islam, M. Anisul | Haque, Md Rakibul | Tareq, Sarwar Jahan | Chowdhury, Naymul Kabir

Problem Census (PCs) and Planning Workshops (PWs) are used to examine the diverse contrasting perspectives of beneficiary groups in regard to their socio-economic and political conditions. On the basis of information generated from these activities, stakeholders become aware of non-uniform impacts of resource use patterns, livelihood strategies and economic activities on the local environment, sustainable resources management schemes and environmental conservation options available to them. Priorities are determined and intervention programmes are designed accordingly. These programmes must be beneficial to all stakeholders and facilitate community participation in development projects which focus on resource management and environmental conservation. In the long-run this contributes to sustainable development and poverty alleviation.

Plant resources of Arua and gopinathpur Beels of Manikganj
    Mollah, Abdur Rob | Mannan, Md Abdul | Faisal, Arif Mohammad

Wetlands in Bangladesh are going through a difficult phase caused by exponential degradation and destruction of these ecosystems and dwindling of their valuable resources. Plant resources are more vulnerable due to over-harvesting and unwise exploitation. Sustainable plant resource management and conservation of the local flora have to be linked together to provide greater livelihood security for the rural people, especially the poor ones, who depend upon plants for food, fodder, agricultural and household implements, medicine, as well as recreation and entertainment. The data collection for this report also involved participation of the various resource-user groups and local communities. This report is a compilation of the knowledge and experience of the people of Arua and Gopinathpur unions.
