Bondhu Participates in National Tree Plantation Campaign and Tree Fair 2026

On World Environment Day 2026, the Bangladesh Forest Department launched the National Tree Plantation Campaign and Tree Fair 2026 at Sher‑e‑Bangla Nagar, Agargaon, Dhaka. Running from 9 July to 9 August 2026, the campaign coincided with the week‑long Environment Fair 2026 (9–15 July), organized by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change together with the Department of Environment (DoE). 

At the fair, the Bangladesh Bondhu Foundation (BONDHU) showcased its six ongoing climate‑friendly projects: Bondhu Chula (Improved Cook Stove), Mangrove Afforestation (CASMAR), Climate‑Friendly Agriculture, Climate‑Friendly Tree Plantation, Solar‑Powered Drinking Water Supply, and Energy‑Saving Stove (Sashroyi Chula). 

Bondhu has undertaken a nationwide initiative to plant 60 million medicinal, fruit, and timber trees by 2037. In partnership with the Bangladesh Forest Department, Bondhu is implementing the Carbon Sequestration through Mangrove Afforestation and Restoration (CASMAR) project. Under a signed MoU, Bondhu aims to plant Keora (Sonneratia apetala) trees across 50,000 hectares within 10 years to enhance coastal protection and carbon capture. 

At the Tree Plantation Campaign and Tree Fair 2026, Bondhu highlighted its Climate‑Friendly Tree Plantation and Mangrove Afforestation initiatives, emphasizing the importance of tree plantation alongside other sustainable projects. Representatives at Bondhu’s stall presented project activities in detail and distributed informative leaflets to raise public awareness.
