CREL follows on to a series of USAID-funded initiatives focused on supporting co-management of natural resources in Bangladesh, and will scale up and adapt successful co-management models to conserve ecosystems and protected areas (PAs), improve governance of natural resources and biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change through improved planning and livelihoods diversification. The project will include the Northeast (Sylhet), Southwest Sundarbans (focus on four regions: Sreemongol, Khulna), Southeast (Chittagong and Cox’s Bazar) regions of Bangladesh.
