Bangladesh Forest Act

The Bangladesh Forest Act is a legal framework aimed at managing and protecting the country’s forests and wildlife. Enacted in 1927 and updated over the years, it regulates the use of forest resources, aims to prevent deforestation, and promotes biodiversity conservation. The Act establishes protected areas, outlines penalties for illegal logging and poaching, and encourages sustainable forestry practices. By balancing environmental protection with local community needs, it seeks to ensure that forests continue to provide ecological, economic, and social benefits for current and future generations.
