Celebrating World Wetlands Day 2024!

Today, we join hands to honour and protect the incredible wetlands of Bangladesh!  Arannayk Foundation participated in an event organized by the Bangladesh Forests Department at Bana Bhaban.

Our wetlands are more than just landscapes; they're vital to our ecosystem, rich in biodiversity, acting as flood buffers and carbon sinks.  Honored to have Hon’ble Minister Mr. Saber Hossain Chowdhury M.P for the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Hon’ble Secretary Dr. Farhin Ahmed and other esteemed guests at our stall at the event premises.

Arannayk's stall showcased our commitment to biodiversity with publications reflecting Bangladesh's natural treasures.

World Wetlands Day has been celebrated on 2 February every year since 1997. This year’s theme 𝑾𝒆𝒕𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈" highlights the crucial role these ecosystems play in supporting our health, livelihoods, and overall quality of life.

Let's pledge to conserve and restore our wetlands for a sustainable future.

We are happy to share some precious moments at the Bird Fair 2024 at Jahangirnagar University on Friday, January 19, 2024!

Arannayk Foundation is proud to be one of the co-organizers of this annual event with the Zoology Department.

Arannayk’s stall at the Zahir Raihan Auditorium premises engaged the next generation through a captivating quiz, igniting their curiosity about the fascinating world of birds. Witnessing these young minds' passion and dedication to creating a safer environment for migratory birds was truly inspiring, as they actively shared their thoughts on a comment tree.

Let's continue our collective efforts to safeguard and appreciate the remarkable biodiversity of our planet!
