info@techbangla.org Bangladesh Environment Network (BEN) was set up to facilitate communication about Bangladesh's environmental problems. It is open to all Bangladeshis who are either residing in Bangladesh or living abroad. BEN is also open to non-Bangladeshis who are interested in Bangladesh's environmental problems. The problem of environmental degradation in Bangladesh is too serious to be left entirely to government initiative. It is necessary to create a broad popular movement to safeguard Bangladesh's environment. The educated civil society of the country has to take lead in creating such a movement. It is with this spirit that BEN has been set up. For further information contact Prof. Nazrul Islam at: nislam@emory.edu
