| Summary: | This report assesses the level of environmental
awareness in the rural communities of Bangladesh.
Findings reveal that nearly half of the people were aware
about the change of environment and its implications
although the knowledge about the specific aspects of
environmental change is poor. Regional as well as socioeconomic
differentials in environmental awareness were
very high. NGOs played an important role in raising the
awareness level. The study suggests that a concerted
effort should be initiated including both the public and
private development organizations to routinely
disseminate the consequences of environmental disaster. |
