Reference Center - Nishorgo: Bangladesh's Protected Area Management Program

The Nishorgo Support Project works to make its collected information and analyses widely available to those that are interested in Protected Area management in Bangladesh. To that end, we have posted below the principle documents or reports produced under the Project, or with support of the Project.

In addition, visitors to the Project office in Banani are welcome to use our Reference Center, where they can find printed documents about the country's PAs, and all the principle documents gathered by or produced by the Project. Access to the Reference Center is subject to space limitations. If you'd like to see all the digital and non-digital deliverables of the Nishorgo Support Project, click here
