    Zeba Afia A slightly different approach can also be taken- "Those who plant and care for trees and increase forest resources, they will be paid as a reward."
    Thus, they will be more interested for planting trees.

But it’s not possible so quickly. So, the procedure should be running as well as our Govt. can give them food, protection, education, sanitation with the help of international agencies. Govt also starts relocating them which will reduce pressure on certain forest land. They did huge destruction of forest lands by making shelter and destruction is continued because of collecting fuelwood. So if we reduce fuelwood problem by providing biogas or fuelwood substitution actions through coordination of various aid agencies, our forest will get protection. Besides forest department can do plantation programme like social forestry where the refugees will participate. Fast growing species should be planted as if they can get benefit earlier and then they will be interested on tree plantation. Fruit trees can be planted and...    less

But it can not possible now because of some political issues. Our government should have taken proper steps to solve the problem so that the Rohingya can return to their own villages and get proper rights.
    (2) The Rohingya peoples are now located in the forest areas of Bangladesh and they destroyed the forest. They cut the trees for making their shelter. They collect fuel wood from the forest. So for saving the forest areas government should take proper step. Here government can take "Benefit sharing approach" for planting trees. If the Rohingya people's get benefits they plant trees and maintain the trees also. Here proper training and encouragement is needed for planting trees and maintaining the trees.  less

So it's confirm they'll stay there until the problem solved totally. Rohingyas fuel problem can be solved only by the help of foreign NGO's. They are supporting Rohingyas from all aspect. But if they also supply them cylinder gas, they won't cut trees. Though it's hard for the NGO's to supply gas where their basic needs are uncertain. But to cook food they don't have a choice. 13000 acre of Bhasan Char is visible. Where 5000 acres habitable. Other 8000 acres land should be planned well for mangrove and mount forestation.  less
