Tanguar Haor wetlands conservation and livelihoods
The goal is that a co-management system for the Tanguar Haor Ramsar site is in place which conserves ecosystem values and services and provides a basis for a significantly improvement of livelihoods for rural communities. The co-management system unites representatives of the District Offices, Sub-District Offices, Union Parishads as well as from the communities. It acts as a facilitator, and insures that instructions from the Steering Committee are implemented, and regulations are applied. The outcomes are (1) The co-management system in the Tanguar Haor is consolidated and effective; (2) the communities of the Tanguar Haor have improved livelihoods and increased incomes; (3) the sustainability of the co-management institutions is assured beyond project intervention.
