Destruction of nature and biodiversity must stop: Environment Minister, Bangladesh

Saber Hossain Chowdhury, Minister of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Bangladesh, said that the biggest ongoing war in the world is the war against nature, which must be stopped immediately.

He stated that humans are part of nature, so the uncontrolled destruction of nature and biodiversity must be stopped for their own survival. At this time, he urged everyone to work to prevent plastic pollution.

The environment minister spoke at the opening ceremony of the Rotary Club of Dhaka Pathfinders 2024-2025, which took place at Gulshan Club.

“It cannot be achieved solely by the government.” Rather, everyone in the society should come forward and work towards specific goals.”

The minister told the club members that Rotarians can play an important role in protecting the environment and climate stability.

“In the ceremony, outgoing president Rotarian Tabassum Hossain led the oath for the newly elected management board of the club for the Rotary year 2024-25.” Rotary members were present at this time.
