Sustaining Nature, Biodiversity, and Local Communities

Satchari Co-Management Committee engages with local communities to conserve Satchari National Park and its threatened species, through climate-resilient natural resources management and diversified livelihoods

Co-management in Satchari was established in 2006 and is recognized through a Ministry of Environment and Forests order published on 15 May 2006. Satchari CMC formally works with and includes Bangladesh Forest Department as well as all key local stakeholders including local government and of course representatives of the surrounding 38 villages who are organized into a common forum. The CMC collects entry fees from visitors, operates a visitor information center, and oversees community patrols and eco-guides. Although SNP is small this CMC also aims to influence sustainable land uses and respect for conservation over a much larger area covering about 17,550 hactares.

SATCHARI COMANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (CMC)

KEY OBJECTIVES:

• Ensure long-term conservation of biodiversity
• Mobilize local people as environmental stewards and stakeholders
• Improve the lives and livelihoods of local people, by diversifying livelihoods, improving skills, and reducing vulnerability to hazards and climate change
• Encourage eco-tourism, and provide adequate facilities for visitors
• Provide a forum for discussions,consultations, and conflict resolution

Please support our efforts to strengthen conservation. The work of Satchari CMC and associated organizations involves local communities working with local government and Bangladesh Forest Department. These activities depend on support from grants and outside resources.

Satchari CMC has a bank account (Pubali Bank Limited, Chunarughat Branch, Habiganj) and can receive grants from domestic sources. For international assistance, funds can be channeled through CNRS – a national NGO which has helped establish the CMC. CNRS is registered with Bangladesh NGO Affairs Bureau no 841. Its programs focus on Natural Resource Management.

Your donations to Satchari CMC will support:

• Improving protection of forest and threatened wildlife, through community patrols
• Promoting eco-tourism (e.g., establishing and maintaining visitor facilities and publicizing SNP)
• Increasing community sustainability (e.g. reducing disaster vulnerability and improving services)
