What is the experience in making use
of modern communication technology, including cell phone, Internet, for
promotion of the environment movement? How can the internet-based social media
avenues, such a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. can be used more effective
for spreading the environment movement?
How successful has the environment
movement been in drawing the youth and students? What are the obstacles in this
regard? What is BAPA’s record in reaching out to the educational
establishments, teachers, researchers, and the intellectual community? How
successful has BAPA been in gathering information and promoting research on
Bangladesh environment?
There are many individuals, groups,
and organizations who are engaged in various efforts to conserve and nurture
nature. How can the environment movement establish contact with them and join
forces with them?
How can BAPA link up and cooperate
with the trade union and labor movement of the country in protecting work
environment?
What is the experience of BAPA-BEN
cooperation in protecting Bangladesh environment? How can non-resident
Bangladeshis (NRB) be drawn more closely to the environment movement? What is
the experience of BEN in organizing NRB for protection of environment? How can
BEN be stronger and spread further?
What can Bangladesh learn from the
environment movement of other countries of the world? How well connected is
BAPA and BEN with international organizations working for protection of
environment? What is the experience of this connection? How can this connection
can be widened, strengthened, and made more effective?
How connected is Bangladesh
environment movement with the environment movement of other countries of the
sub-continent, in particular, of India? How can this connection be made stronger
and more fruitful?
Members of BAPA, BEN, and the
environment movement in general have been facing, asking, and thinking about
these and similar other questions for a long time now. Since 2000, BAPA and
BEN, together with other pro-environment organizations and establishments of
the country, have been organizing almost every year special conferences focused
on particular environmental problems of Bangladesh. In 2000, 2002, and 2010
they held international conferences with comprehensive agenda covering almost
all major environmental issues. Organizational issues did crop up in these
conferences, however their detailed was not possible. A separate, special
conference focused on organizational issues has therefore become necessary. It
is to respond to this vital necessity that the current conference on
“Environmental Movement and Organization” has been convened.
