About this Petition

River Crisis

Bangladesh, a land of rivers, is watching its waterways die. Encroachment, pollution, and illegal sand extraction threaten the nation's very identity.

Scale of the Problem

  • 40+ rivers in Dhaka alone are biologically dead
  • Over 50,000 hectares of riverbed illegally occupied
  • Industrial and sewage pollution unabated
  • Fish populations collapsed in major rivers
  • Flooding worsened by reduced water flow capacity

Restoration Plan

  1. Recover all encroached riverbanks within 3 years
  2. Establish riverside green belts
  3. Mandatory treatment for all industrial discharge
  4. Create River Protection Authority with enforcement powers
  5. Community river guardianship programs

Our Rivers, Our Life

Bangladesh's rivers are its lifeline. Sign to save them before it's too late.
