2 Forest Types of Bangladesh Total forest 2.57 million ha (17.72%) Hill Forests in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Hill Forests in Chittagong, Cox s Bazar & Sylhet
3 Forest Types of Bangladesh Mangrove Forests Khulna, Satkhira & Bagerhat Coastal afforestation (Mangrove)
4 Forest Types of Bangladesh Sal Forests (Shorea robusta) Central Plain land Village Forests Scattered throughout the country
5 Forest Types of Bangladesh Rubber plantation Tea garden Bamboo groves
6 Horizontal expansion of state forest is not Forest Types of Bangladesh The forests are not evenly distributed throughout the country. State Forests supply about 12% of the national demand of forest produce. About 70% of demand is derived from village forests. The gap is met by import and other traditional sources. With the ever increasing population, demand of forest land and forest produce is increasing and supply is decreasing.

20 Gender friendly changes in - a. Constitution b. Forest Policy c. Forest Acts d. Forest Rules e. Five Year Plan
21 Constitution of Bangladesh Women shall have equal rights with men in all spheres of the State and of public life [Article 28(2)] The Fifteenth amendment in July, 2011 adds a new Article 9(3) as follows: The State shall endeavour to ensure equality of opportunity and participation of women in all spheres of national life. Article 65 Parliament is consist of 300 members + 50 women members elected by 300 MPs [As amended by the Constitution (Fifteenth Amendment) Act, 2011]
22 Changes in Forest Policy First Forest Policy in British India in 1894 Forest Policy of 1955 and 1962 (Pakistan) Although forest policy of 1962 farm forestry was recognized but not participation of women. Bangladesh adopted a new national forest policy in Recognized afforestation by mass participation. but still then role or participation of women in SF has not been recognized. National Forest Policy Women will be encouraged to participate in homestead and farm forestry, and participatory afforestation programmes.
23 Changes in Forest Act The Government Forests Act,1865 (Act VII of 1865) The Indian Forest Act 1878 (Act VII of 1878) The Forest Act, 1927 (Act XVI of 1927) The Forest Act, 1927 (Act XVI of 1927) was amended in 2000 to include SF in Bangladesh. Sub-section (2) of section 28A runs thus: A SF programme is established when the Government by one or more written agreements assigns rights to forest-produce or rights to use the land, for the purposes of social forestry, to person assisting the Government in management of the land.
24 Social Forestry Rules 2004 (Amended in 2010 & 2011) For the purpose of efficient management of SF a ninemember Social Forestry Management Committee for each locality of social forestry is constituted. The members of the committee are elected by the beneficiaries of the concerned social forestry locality with minimum one-third are elected from women [Rule 9(1) and 9(2)]. In case of social forestry activities initiated by local community, a fivemember committee is constituted with at least two women [Rule 9(1A)].
25 Social Forestry Rules 2004 (Amended in 2010 & 2011) If a beneficiary is married male, his wife shall be treated as a beneficiary and vice versa [Rule 4(4)] In the event of divorce between beneficiary, both may continue to be beneficiaries on equal shares during the continuance of the agreement [Rule 4(5)]
26 Five Year Plan In addressing gender based discrimination, the current Sixth Five Year Plan (SFYP ) will follow a two-pronged approach. Firstly, gender will be integrated into all sectoral interventions. Secondly, attention will be given to remove all policy and social biases against women with a view to ensuring gender equality as enshrined in the National Constitution. Budget provisions of recognize special programmes to ensure 50 per cent poor women's participation on priority basis in the plantation programme to create employment and augment their income, and ensuring about 50 percent of women's participation in SF activities.
27 Conclusion Conventional development practices have failed to recognise the centrality of women in sustainable resource management. Conclusion To address the need for enhanced women s participation in SF development, the Government of Bangladesh updated forest policy, legislation and programme. Now its the women and their families to remove the mental barriers and come forward to bring gender balance in SF
