Description:
Wood is an essential means of survival in these areas. Used as fuel, building material etc trees are cut down randomly in the absence of strict monitoring and as the needs of the ever growing population increases. The lone burnt out stump bears witness to the recent atrocities. Trees and natural vegetation on the hills are being burned randomly to extend cultivation as issues about the environment hazard such an action will bring about are disregarded and overlooked. In these remote areas checks on destruction of forests are difficult to impliment. Bandarban, Chittagong. April 27 2007.
