MODUS OPERANDI

Program committees

To accomplish its mission, BAPA has formed program committees focusing on different environmental issues. Comprised of experts and activists, these program committees are studying respective issues and organizing necessary campaigns, in the form of seminars, conferences, public rallies, deputations, memorandum, press conferences, publications, etc. Strategic issues: BAPA has identified issues concerning (i) rivers, (ii) energy, and (iii) ethnic minorities and the environment of their habitat, as three major strategic issues and have been engaging with these issues on a sustained basis and with due emphasis.

Reaching out to districts

BAPA is promoting pro-environment activities in different districts of the country. It is building connections with local pro-environment organizations that have already developed and is helping such organizations to develop in areas where they do not exist now. BAPA is coordinating and uniting local level efforts in order to give the environment movement a truly national character

Regional efforts

Realizing that many environmental problems of Bangladesh, in particular the problems concerning her rivers, are of regional scope, BAPA is reaching out to pro-environment organizations and individuals of India and other countries of the sub-continent to develop a sub-continent wide movement to confront these problems. International efforts: Realizing that (i) many environmental problems are globally linked, (ii) Bangladesh is going to be profoundly affected by global warming and climate changes, and (iii) Bangladesh needs internal support to establish her legitimate rights over the trans-boundary rivers, BAPA is establishing connections with and participating in various pro-environmental efforts globally.
