Across the world, nearly 20 million people make their living by collecting, sorting, and recycling waste including plastic. These waste workers contribute to almost 60% of all plastic recycling globally, a remarkable effort driving both environmental protection and the circular economy🌱

Yet, many of them continue to work without recognition, fair wages, healthcare, or safety protections. Every day, they face hazardous conditions with minimal support, despite being the unsung heroes of sustainability.

It’s time for a just transition, one that recognizes, empowers, and includes waste pickers in sustainable waste management systems. They deserve dignity, safety, and respect for the crucial role they play in protecting our planet. They’re not just cleaning up waste, they’re building a fairer and greener future for us all💚

Did you know our planet has more than 117 million lakes? Covering nearly 4% of Earth’s land surface, lakes are among the most essential natural resources we depend on.

They provide freshwater, support wildlife and biodiversity, help regulate the climate, and create spaces for recreation and economic growth.

But sadly, lakes are disappearing at a rapid pace due to pollution, climate change, and unsustainable land use. Protecting them is urgent, we must take action today to safeguard lakes and ensure they continue to support life for generations to come.

The number of tigers and cubs in the Sundarbans has increased. Compared to the 2018 survey, the latest 2024 survey shows that the tiger population has grown by 11, as reported by Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Advisor to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. She revealed this information at a press conference held on Tuesday (October 8) at the Secretariat, during the announcement of the results of the "Sundarbans Tiger Survey 2024."

According to the 2018 survey, the Sundarbans had 114 tigers. The latest survey has found 125 tigers, marking an increase of 11. Rizwana Hasan stated that, based on overall analysis, the 2023-2024 Sundarbans tiger survey recorded 125 tigers, with a density of 2.64 tigers per 100 square kilometers.

She further noted that the first tiger survey in the Sundarbans using modern camera trapping methods was conducted in 2015, which identified 106 tigers. At that time, the density was 2.17 tigers per 100 square kilometers. In the second phase of camera trapping in 2018, 114 tigers were found, with a density of 2.55 per 100 square kilometers. The advisor stated that the third phase of the tiger survey, carried out entirely with government funding under the Sundarbans Tiger Conservation Project, began in January 2023 and was completed in March 2024.

For this survey, camera traps were installed in four blocks—Satkhira, Khulna, Chandpai, and Sharankhola ranges of the Sundarbans—covering 605 grid locations. A total of 1,210 automatic cameras were deployed across these grids for 318 days. Tigers were captured on camera in 368 of those grid locations. From over one million photos and videos taken, 7,297 tiger images were identified. Experts analyzed the unique stripe patterns and body parts to identify individual tigers.

The advisor added that a significant number of tiger cubs were also photographed in the 2023–24 survey. However, cubs are not included in the final count, due to the high mortality rate before reaching adulthood.

This time, 21 tiger cubs were captured in photographs. In contrast, only five cubs were photographed in each of the 2015 and 2018 surveys. At the press conference, Professor M. A. Aziz from the Department of Zoology at Jahangirnagar University mentioned that the Sundarbans continues to provide a favorable environment for tiger reproduction, and the tiger population may continue to grow in the future.

International Tiger Day 2025 🐅 🌱
A world without tigers is a world without balance. Once kings of the jungle, now tigers are fighting for survival with only around 4,500 left in the wild.

On this day, we raise our voice not just for the majestic tiger, but for the forests they protect, the biodiversity they support, and the planet we all share.

Tigers are more than just beautiful creatures, they are keystone species, essential for healthy ecosystems. Let’s protect their homes. Let’s stop illegal poaching.
Let’s stand up for the wild before it’s too late.

Save tigers. Save nature. Save ourselves. 🐾

Small states, big climate moves from rising seas to vanishing forests, small island developing states (SIDS) are facing some of the most extreme consequences of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. But they are not backing down.

With support from UNEP, over 30 island nations are leading bold environmental initiatives from restoring ecosystems and tackling pollution to adapting to a rapidly changing climate, all while boosting local economies.

At Green Earth Resilience Foundation (GERF), we believe that true leadership isn't defined by size but by action. These nations are a powerful reminder that resilience, innovation, and commitment can drive real change, no matter how small the land, the impact can be global.

আগামী বছর তিনটি দেশে অনুষ্ঠিত হতে যাওয়া ২০২৬ ফিফা বিশ্বকাপ নিয়ে উঠেছে পরিবেশ নিয়ে চরম উদ্বেগ। পরিবেশ বিষয়ক আন্তর্জাতিক গ...

আগামী বছর তিনটি দেশে অনুষ্ঠিত হতে যাওয়া ২০২৬ ফিফা বিশ্বকাপ নিয়ে উঠেছে পরিবেশ নিয়ে চরম উদ্বেগ। পরিবেশ বিষয়ক আন্তর্জাতিক গবেষণা সংস্থা Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) সম্প্রতি জানিয়েছে, এই বিশ্বকাপ হতে যাচ্ছে ইতিহাসের সবচেয়ে পরিবেশ দূষণকারী ক্রীড়া আসর।

SGR-এর তথ্যমতে, ১০৪ ম্যাচের এই টুর্নামেন্টে ৯ মিলিয়ন টনেরও বেশি কার্বন ডাই অক্সাইড (CO₂) নির্গমন হবে, যা আগের চারটি বিশ্বকাপের গড় নির্গমনের প্রায় দ্বিগুণ। গবেষকদের মতে, ম্যাচের সংখ্যা বৃদ্ধি এবং সর্বাধিক দূষণকারী মাধ্যম—আকাশপথে দল ও সমর্থকদের যাতায়াতই এর প্রধান কারণ।

প্রথমবারের মতো ৪৮টি দল নিয়ে মেক্সিকো, যুক্তরাষ্ট্র এবং কানাডা মিলিয়ে অনুষ্ঠিত হবে এই বিশ্বকাপ। ১৬টি শহরে আয়োজিত ১০৪টি ম্যাচে প্রায় ৫০ লাখ দর্শক মাঠে উপস্থিত থাকবেন এবং ৬০০ কোটি মানুষ টিভি পর্দায় এই টুর্নামেন্ট উপভোগ করবেন বলে আশা করা হচ্ছে। তবে এর বিপরীতে, SGR তাদের গবেষণায় জানিয়েছে, এই বিশ্বকাপে কার্বন নির্গমন হবে এমন পরিমাণে যা গড়ে ৬.৫ মিলিয়ন ব্রিটিশ গাড়ি এক বছরে যত দূষণ করে তার সমান। ফলে এই বিশ্বকাপ ইতিহাসের সবচেয়ে জলবায়ু-ক্ষতিকর বিশ্ব আসরে পরিণত হতে যাচ্ছে।

Environmental Defense Fund এবং Sport for Climate Action Network-এর গবেষকেরাও একমত যে, বিশ্বকাপের ভৌগোলিক বিস্তৃতি ও বিমানযাত্রার পরিমাণই মূলত দূষণের মাত্রা বহুগুণে বাড়িয়ে দিচ্ছে। তারা আশঙ্কা করছেন, আকাশপথে দীর্ঘ যাত্রা এবং বিভিন্ন শহরে স্থানান্তরের ফলে এবারের বিশ্বকাপের জলবায়ু প্রভাব ভয়াবহ হবে।

এদিকে ফিফা এখনো এই প্রতিবেদন নিয়ে কোনো আনুষ্ঠানিক বক্তব্য দেয়নি। তবে সংগঠনটি আগেই ঘোষণা দিয়েছে, তারা ২০৩০ সালের মধ্যে কার্বন নিঃসরণ ৫০ শতাংশ কমাতে এবং ২০৪০ সালের মধ্যে নেট-জিরো অর্জনে কাজ করছে। বিশ্বজুড়ে যখন জলবায়ু পরিবর্তন নিয়ে উদ্বেগ ক্রমেই বাড়ছে, তখন এমন একটি গ্লোবাল টুর্নামেন্টের পরিবেশগত প্রভাব নিয়ে এ ধরনের সতর্কতা ক্রীড়াঙ্গন ও সচেতন মহলে নতুন করে আলোচনার জন্ম দিয়েছে।

Dhaka’s air has reached alarming toxicity levels, with a new report revealing that the concentration of carcinogenic elements like arsenic, lead, cadmium, and cobalt is almost twice the limit set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The city, already infamous for its suffocating pollution, now faces a graver threat—air so toxic it's contributing directly to rising cancer rates.

According to WHO projections, cancer cases may more than double globally by 2050, and Dhaka’s air pollution is a significant contributor to this trajectory. Lung cancer, one of the most prevalent forms of the disease in Bangladesh, is being increasingly linked to prolonged exposure to this toxic environment. The primary sources of these deadly pollutants are lead-acid battery and e-waste recycling industries, outdated and illegal brick kilns, and unfit vehicles emitting dangerous levels of black smoke.

Children are the most vulnerable. Around 35 million children in Bangladesh have elevated blood lead levels, with those living in industrial or densely trafficked areas facing especially severe health threats. Despite years of warnings and countless media reports, the government’s efforts remain weak and inconsistent. Unfit vehicles continue to pollute Dhaka’s roads, brick kilns operate near schools and homes, and battery-run three-wheelers crowd the streets unchecked.

When approached for comment, the concerned minister simply stated that the ministry would “look into the findings.” This lack of urgency is troubling, especially when the health of millions is at stake. Experts emphasize that the situation is nothing short of a public health emergency, demanding immediate and decisive government action. Without it, the city risks sinking deeper into a crisis that not only chokes its air but also endangers its future.
