8.1 IntroductionAt present there is only 19.42 percent of land in Bangladesh having tree cover with density of10 percent and above. Based on the spatial dimension, the area having tree cover is muchcloser to the target (20 percent) set by the government but the density is much less than thetarget (>70 percent). Since 1991, it has been observed that there has been a steady increase ofCO 2 emission in Bangladesh. At present the proportion of terrestrial and marine areasprotected is 2.29 percent which is much less than the target of 5 percent. Data show thatwithout considering the arsenic contamination, 97.8 percent population of Bangladesh isusing improved drinking water source; arsenic adjusted figure is 86 percent in 2009.Moreover, 63.5 percent of the population is using improved sanitation in 2010. However,access to safe water for all is a challenge, since arsenic contamination and salinity intrusionas a consequence of climate change fall out will exacerbate the problem of availability of safewater especially for the poor.8.2 Progress of achievements in different targets and indicatorsTarget 7.A: Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies andprogrammes and reverse the loss of environmental resourcesIndicator 7.1: Proportion of land area covered by forestSustainable development has been emphasized in the government‟s planning documents andprogrammes e.g. in Sixth Five Year Plan (FY 2011-FY 2015) and in Perspective Plan ofBangladesh 2010-2021. National Sustainable Development Strategy (2011-2021) has alsobeen formulated and adopted by the government.According to the information of the Department of Forest, the total forest area in Bangladeshwas 2.53 million hectares in 2012 which is only 19.42 percent of the total land area of thecountry. Out of this total forest land, 2.25 million hectare is owned by the government asclassified and unclassified forests and 0.27 million hectare is privately owned. Governmentforest land, managed by the Forest Department, covers both natural and plantation forest. Outof 64 districts, 28 districts had no public forest in the past. But now almost all districts havebeen brought under forest coverage through Social Forestry Programme. The ever increasingpopulation of Bangladesh is creating pressure on existing government managed forestresources and has resulted in over exploitation of such resources. With a view to bringing thegovernment owned fallow khas land under forestry coverage, participatory social forestationprogramme was introduced in the early 1980s. The government has amended the rules so thatmarginal poor are eligible to participate in the programme. Besides, the government has alsoincreased the profit margin significantly for the participating poor that have increasedpeople‟s participation in forest management. Based on the implementation of the SocialForestry Programme through people‟s participation, about 0.40 million hectare of land hasbeen brought under forest cover. In June 2012, the proportion of land area covered by forestis 19.42 percent, which was 19.20 percent in 2007. About 55 million seedlings have beenraised under plantation. Nevertheless, widespread destruction and clearing of forest land foragriculture and homestead seriously impede achieving the target of 20 percent forest with treedensity more than 70 percent coverage by the end of 2015.83
