Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh

October 02, 2025, Dhaka, Bangladesh: The rivers and canals around Dhaka were once vital sanctuaries of biodiversity. Countless fish swam in their waters, serving as the main food source for fish-eating birds. But now that scene belongs to the past. What was once clear water is now occupied by heaps of garbage. Plastic, polythene, industrial waste, and household trash have severely polluted the water. Faced with a food crisis, fish-eating egrets are being forced to search for food in these piles of waste. Their natural food—fish—is no longer easily available, compelling them to look for alternatives. In Bangladesh, the filling up of rivers and wetlands, illegal encroachment, and plastic pollution together are pushing aquatic ecosystems towards destruction. These wetlands once provided shelter to thousands of native and migratory birds. But in recent years, their numbers have sharply declined. From the haors to Dhaka’s Turag and Balu rivers and other wetlands, the picture is the same: encroachment, landfilling,
