The rainforests of Sylhet are not just a collection of trees; they are the lungs of our region and a vital sanctuary for biodiversity. However, as urbanization and climate shifts accelerate, these ancient “Green Guardians” face unprecedented threats. At UNDP.LAB, we believe that the preservation of nature requires a blend of traditional conservation wisdom and modern technological intervention.
The Challenges We Face Currently, the ecosystems in the Sylhet division are grappling with habitat fragmentation. When forests are broken into small, isolated patches, wildlife species—from rare tropical birds to native primates—lose their ability to migrate and reproduce. Furthermore, the soil quality in these hilly terrains is degrading due to deforestation, leading to increased landslide risks during the monsoon season.
Our Restoration Strategy Our approach to restoration is two-fold. First, we are implementing “Micro-Reforestation” projects. By planting native saplings that are genetically adapted to our specific soil pH and humidity, we ensure a higher survival rate for new growth. Second, we are using digital mapping to identify “Critical Corridors.” These are narrow strips of land that, if restored, can reconnect large forest patches, allowing wildlife to move freely once again.
How Technology Plays a Role Data is our strongest ally. By archiving the growth patterns and health of these ecosystems, we can predict which areas are most vulnerable to future droughts or floods. This “Archive Vault” isn’t just for history; it’s a roadmap for the future of conservation.
Join the Movement Nature restoration is not a task for a single organization; it is a collective responsibility. Whether through supporting our projects or simply spreading awareness about the importance of our local canopy, every action counts. Together, we can ensure that the misty hills of Sylhet remain vibrant and green for generations to come.
