How an engineer brought degraded wetlands back to life in drought-hit Bangladesh
A.K.M. Fazlul Haque successfully restored two degraded wetlands in Bangladesh's Rangpur district, which had been severely affected by drought, by leveraging government support and implementing innovative engineering solutions. The rehabilitation of Bharardaho Beel and Patuakamri Beel highlights the importance of community involvement and policy backing in ecological restoration efforts. This initiative serves as a valuable case study for similar projects aimed at revitalizing critical ecosystems.
