[ALOCHONA] Accords with India hit at the base of Bangladesh



Accords with India hit at the base of Bangladesh

Speakers at a discussion yesterday alleged that accords with India signed during the recent visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina hit the base of independence and sovereignty of the country.

Addressing the discussion on 'Prime Minister's India Visit: Evaluation', organised by Sammilito Peshajibi Parishad at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh (IEDB), they said India signed the deals, which go against the interest of the country, to use Bangladesh to control its north-eastern region people who were fighting for independence and also to contain China. These accords must have to be withdrawn; otherwise people will resist the implementation of them.

Engineer Mahmudur Rahman, convener of the parishad, presided over the programme which was addressed, among others, by Prof Dr Emajuddin Ahmed, Columnist Farhad Mazhar, former pro VC of DU AFM Yusuf Haider, Barrister Aminul Haque, former IEB president Engineer ANH Akhter Hossain, Press Club president Shaukat Mahmood, Journalist Ruhul Amin Gazi and MA Aziz, Agriculturist Anwar-un-Nabi Majumder, DU prof Dr Aminur Rahman Majumder, Principal Selim Bhuyan and Engineer Harun-Or-Rashid. Dr AZM Zahid Hossain, Member Secretary of the parishad, moderated the function.

Dr Emajuddin Ahmed who addressed as chief guest, said that Bangladesh was forced to enter into the security block of India through the security deals with India. He said, these accords could hamper the internal security of Bangladesh.He was sharply critical of the prime minister for giving advance support to India for UN Security Council.

Terming the accords as security and military treaty Farhad Mazhar said, India signed the deals, which go against the interest of the country, to use Bangladesh to control its north-eastern region people who were fighting for independence. He said, Bangladesh would not be able to present its any crisis at international forum if India became the member of UN Security Council. But it is regretting matter that the prime minister had already expressed her support to India, he said. Farhad Mazhar alleged that India wants to make Bangladesh as its battle field changing its military plan in the context of Maoist upcharge, Muslim-Maoist relation and independence movement of north-eastern region.

Mahmudur Rahman said, the accords are nothing but the extension of the treaty of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on May 26, 1974 which hit at the base of the country's independence and sovereignty. Earlier, Shukat Mahmood in his keynote paper said 'we want to connect with the globe including India but not sacrificing our sovereignty and independence'.

14 intellectuals and 3000 non bengalis were killed on 14th December when whole Bangladesh was under the Indian occupation forces, pro-pakistanis' were on run, pro-Liberation forces were on control over Bangladesh. Zahir Raihan was kidnapped by indian secret forces approximately one month after independence of Bangladesh. All justice must come together for the cause of justice and this the civilisation.

[ALOCHONA] Re: Whose idiology to be followed Muzib's, Zia, Ershad or Islam ?????

We should throw out all ideologies. And Islam is not an ideology. We should embrace modern politics and modern politicians.

We DON'T need to follow Muijib or Zia or Ershad or Nizami.

People who think they do need to follow such men are half as worldly as they think they are, handicap their children in their youth and have no idea about what it takes to get us out of our political and moral collapse.

A modern man, and a real man, calls his Daddy his Daddy and would cringe at calling a politcian his Daddy. Or Mummy as in the case of Bangladesh.

You really think in a 100 years people will be following Mijib and Zia and Ershad and Nizami? Never happened before. Won't happen either.

Though it is true that there is no limit to our shameless paglami.

[ALOCHONA] Re: The Padma now

Dear Alochoks

I know its sad about the condition of the Padma but we should be realistic. Life is not easy and at least we have other rivers. Its not like our songs about the Padma have disappeared. Thats the main thing.

We should all be more broad minded and realise that AL and BNP governments have a difficult job tackling India. We should be more forgiving and more flexible in our relationships. A couple of rivers sacrificed is not too high a price to pay for regional security and cooperation.

We should realsie that India has a lot of problems too. By being symapthetic to India we demonstrate that we are a mature and sophisticated nation.

Above all our politcians have to deal with realities that we, the public, cannot comprehend. We should trust out politicians because they have earned our trust over the years.

Lets be realistic. Who really cares about the tigers of the Sunderbans as long as the Tigers of Dhaka stadium win two matches every year?

We have too many bleeding heart do gooders who just don't live in the real world. So what if the Buriganga is a dead river - at least it kept our waste management costs down so our garments factories could survive in residential areas.

Be practical - like our politcians.

Screw the Teesta and the Padma and any other river. As long as we still have our songs we have no right to complain. Its not like India is telling us not to sing! Give India a break!

Ezajur Rahman

[ALOCHONA] Sea rise could spell end for Sundarban Tigers: WWF



Sea rise could spell end for Sundarban Tigers: WWF
 
Maruf Mallick
 
Falun, Sweden, 23 January (bdnews24.com) -- One of the world's largest tiger populations could disappear by the end of this century as rising sea levels caused by climate change destroy their habitat in the Sundarbans along the coast of Bangladesh, according to a new World Wildlife Fund (WWF)-led study published in the journal Climatic Change.

Tigers are among the world's most threatened species, with only an estimated 3,200 remaining in the wild, Swiss-based WWF, the worlds largest conservations organisation, said in a report on Friday.

WWF officials said the threats facing these Royal Bengal tigers and other iconic species around the world highlight the need for urgent international action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. "If we don't take steps to address the impacts of climate change on the Sundarbans, the only way its tigers will survive this century is with scuba gear," said Colby Loucks, WWF-US deputy director of conservation science and the lead author of the study on Sea Level Rise and Tigers: Predicted Impacts to Bangladesh's Sundarbans Mangroves.

"Tigers are a highly adaptable species, thriving from the snowy forests of Russia to the tropical forests of Indonesia. "The projected sea level rise in the Sundarbans will likely outpace the tiger's ability to adapt."

An expected sea level rise of 28 cm above 2000 levels may cause the remaining tiger habitat in the Sundarbans to decline by 96 percent, pushing the total population to fewer than 20 breeding tigers, according to the study. Unless immediate action is taken, the Sundarbans, its wildlife and the natural resources that sustain millions of people may disappear within 50 to 90 years, the study states.

"The mangrove forest of the Bengal tiger now joins the sea-ice of the polar bear as one of the habitats most immediately threatened as global temperatures rise during the course of this century," said Keya Chatterjee, acting director of the WWF-US climate change program. "To avert an ecological catastrophe on a much larger scale, we must sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the impacts of climate change we failed to avoid."

The Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site shared by India and Bangladesh at the mouth of the Ganges River, is the world's largest single block of mangrove forest. Mangroves are found at the inter-tidal region between land and sea, and not only serve as breeding grounds for fish but help protect coastal regions from natural disasters such as cyclones, storm surges and wind damage.

Providing the habitat for between 250 and 400 tigers, the Sundarbans is also home to more than 50 reptile species, 120 commercial fish species, 300 bird species and 45 mammal species. While their exact numbers are unclear, the tigers living in the Sundarbans of India and Bangladesh may represent as many as 10 percent of all the remaining wild tigers worldwide.

Using the rates of sea level rise projected by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in its Fourth Assessment Report (2007), the study's authors wrote that a 28 cm sea level rise may be realized around 2070, at which point tigers will be unlikely to survive in the Sundarbans. However, recent research suggests that the seas may rise even more swiftly than what was predicted in the 2007 IPCC assessment.

In addition to climate change, the Sundarbans tigers, like other tiger populations around the world already face tremendous threats from poaching and habitat loss. Tiger ranges have decreased by 40 percent over the past decade, and tigers today occupy less than seven percent of their original range. Scientists fear that accelerating deforestation and rampant poaching could push some tiger populations to the same fate as their now-extinct Javan and Balinese relatives in other parts of Asia.

Tigers are poached for their highly prized skins and body parts, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine. The 2010 Year of the Tiger will mark an important year for conservation efforts to save wild tigers, with WWF continuing to play a vital role in implementing bold new strategies to save this magnificent Asian big cat.

Recommendations in the study include:

· Locally, governments and natural resource managers should take immediate steps to conserve and expand mangroves while preventing poaching and retaliatory killing of tigers.

· Regionally, neighboring countries should increase sediment delivery and freshwater flows to the coastal region to support agriculture and replenishment of the land;

· Globally, governments should take stronger action to limit greenhouse gas emissions;

"It's disheartening to imagine that the Sundarbans – which means 'beautiful forest' in Bengali – could be gone this century, along with its tigers," Loucks said. "We very much hope that in this, the Year of the Tiger, the world will focus on curtailing the immediate threats to these magnificent creatures and preparing for the long-term impacts of climate change."
 
Tigers in focus
 
Dhaka, Jan 25 (bdnews24.com) – Bangladesh is stepping up conservation efforts for the endangered Royal Bengal Tiger under an action plan that includes a new census of the Sundarban big cats, which like other tiger populations around the world face tremendous threats from poaching and habitat loss.

According to the last census in 2004, the Sundarbans—the largest unbroken mangrove forest in the world stretching 6,000 square kilometres along the coast of Bangladesh—is home to around 440 Royal Bengals, one of the last significant tiger populations in the wild. "Our tigers have to be protected for conservation of biodiversity in the Sundarbans and Bangladesh as a whole," state minister for forests Hassan Mahmud said on Monday as he inaugurated a Tiger Immobilization Training Programme at Bon Bhaban, the forest department headquarters in the capital.

The forest department, under its Bangladesh Tiger Action Plan (BTAP) 2009-2017, is jointly running the first ever immobilisation training with Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh (WTB) to ensure safe tranquillising procedures. The training will help foresters save tigers intruding into human localities where either humans or the tigers are too often killed, said officials. Mahmud also said 33 forest staff had already received training, for care and management of wild tigers, under the BTAP launched last October.

Tigers are among the world's most threatened species, with only an estimated few thousand remaining in the wild worldwide. A hundred years ago, there were around 100,000. Tiger ranges have decreased by 40 percent over the past decade alone, and Sundarbans tigers today occupy less than seven percent of their original range. "Massive public awareness has to be created and forest staff must be properly trained for successful conservation efforts," Mahmud said. "Nowhere in the world are there so many tigers in the wild. Bangladesh has a responsibility to safeguard them for the world."

The Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, extends across India as well as Bangladesh at the mouth of the Ganges River. The tigers living in the mangroves of India and Bangladesh may represent as many as 10 percent of all the remaining wild tigers worldwide, say conservationists.

India has just completed its census of tigers, from Jan 5-10, over its 4,000 sq km stretch of the Sundarbans. Bangladesh, meanwhile, is also competing for the Sundarbans to be included among the 'Seven Wonders of the Natural World' to aid global recognition for the importance of its tiger population and other wildlife. As well as tigers, the Sundarbans is home to more than 50 reptile species, 120 commercial fish species, 300 bird species and 45 mammal species.

Swiss-based World Wildlife Foundation, the world's largest conservation organisation, has said in a recent statement the threats facing the famous Royal Bengal Tigers highlight the need for urgent international action to save this magnificent Asian big cat and other iconic species around the world. Scientists fear that accelerating deforestation and rampant poaching could push Sundarbans tigers to the same fate as their now-extinct Javan and Balinese relatives in other parts of Asia. A WWF-led study, published earlier this month, said rising sea levels also now threaten the Royal Bengal Tiger's survival.

Forests secretary Mihir Kanti Majumder, Dhaka University professor and wildlife expert Anawarul Islam and John Lewis of London Zoo spoke among others at the inauguration of the new training programme, chaired by chief forest conservator Abul Motaleb.
