Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

Refugee-related environmental impact is an emerging threat to environmental sustainability and development. In Bangladesh, the recent influx of Rohingya refugees from Rakhine State has led to an over-exploitation of the local environment and biodiversity that is bound to reduce the natural resources to the detriment of local communities. This policy brief explores viable solutions to protecting the environment and natural resources from this harm which has negatively affected both the protected critical forest area, and the livelihood of the host communities in Cox’s Bazar. The presence of the displaced Rohingyas poses a grave threat to the ecological balance in the region of Cox’s Bazar.
