Encroachment in the Sundarbans

The Sundarbans is under imminent threat as industrial plots have been demarcated for setting up factories, ship-breaking yards and oil refinery plants in the immediate vicinity of the mangrove forest. According to forest and administrative authorities, transforming the landscape around Sundarbans has been in the offing ever since the Padma bridge project was announced. Though companies intending to set up shop there claim to have received prior government approval, the presence of any industry in the area will undoubtedly put at risk the delicate ecological balance of the forest and imperil the lives of the tiger population.
The Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act (Amendment), 2010 prohibits locating any industry within 10km of a reserve forest without government clearance. Indeed, the Department of Environment must provide a clearance certificate to that effect. What is dumbfounding is that the government itself has taken the initiative to encourage private investors to set up projects in the area, which is in direct contravention to the Bangladesh Environment Policy, 1992.
Little wonder, the environmentalists are alarmed by the lack of adherence to policy both by the administration and private sector. The Sundarbans is home to some 400 wild tigers and a diverse fauna of some 35 species of reptiles, 270 species of birds and 42 species of mammals. Unless the government desists from flouting its own policies in the already-threatened Sundarbans, how is the private sector to be discouraged from ruining the rich diversity of this natural habitat?
