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
- Recover all encroached riverbanks within 3 years
- Establish riverside green belts
- Mandatory treatment for all industrial discharge
- Create River Protection Authority with enforcement powers
- Community river guardianship programs
Our Rivers, Our Life
Bangladesh's rivers are its lifeline. Sign to save them before it's too late.
