Green Bagerhat

Green Bagerhat

Project Overview:

Climate change poses a growing threat to coastal districts like Bagerhat, where environmental degradation, rising temperatures, and loss of green cover directly impact community resilience. In response, CYDO has launched “Green Bagerhat,” an ambitious afforestation initiative aimed at planting 10,000 trees across the district.

This project focuses on restoring ecological balance, improving air quality, and strengthening natural defenses against climate risks. By engaging local communities, youth volunteers, educational institutions, and stakeholders, CYDO is working to create a greener and more climate-resilient Bagerhat for future generations.

Why This Project Matters:

Rapid urbanization and deforestation have significantly reduced tree coverage in many parts of Bangladesh. Coastal regions are especially vulnerable to cyclones, flooding, and heatwaves. Tree plantation is one of the most effective and nature-based solutions to combat these challenges.

Each tree planted contributes to carbon absorption, biodiversity protection, soil conservation, and healthier living conditions. Beyond environmental benefits, this initiative also nurtures environmental awareness and community responsibility.

Objectives:

  • Plant 10,000 trees to enhance green coverage in Bagerhat District.
  • Combat climate change through increased carbon sequestration.
  • Reduce environmental risks such as soil erosion and extreme heat.
  • Promote community participation in environmental conservation.
  • Inspire youth leadership in climate action.

Our Approach:

CYDO adopts a strategic and community-driven approach to ensure long-term impact:

  • Identifying suitable locations including schools, roadsides, community spaces, and vulnerable areas.
  • Selecting native and climate-resilient species to improve survival rates.
  • Engaging youth volunteers and local residents in plantation drives.
  • Partnering with local authorities and institutions for coordinated action.
  • Monitoring and nurturing planted trees to ensure sustainable growth.

Expected Impact:

  • Increased green cover and improved local biodiversity.
  • Enhanced climate resilience in vulnerable communities.
  • Greater public awareness about environmental protection.
  • Active youth engagement in sustainability initiatives.
  • Long-term ecological and social benefits for the district.

Call for Partnership:

Achieving the vision of planting 10,000 trees requires collective effort. CYDO welcomes partnerships with donors, corporate organizations, environmental networks, and development agencies committed to climate action.

Your support can help fund saplings, maintenance, community mobilization, and long-term monitoring—ensuring that every tree planted thrives.

Invest in trees today to protect tomorrow.
Together, let’s grow a greener, safer, and more sustainable Bagerhat.
