Resilence
Savar, a place located in the outskirts of Dhaka was once known for its natural beauty. Today, the abundance of it has disappeared into the cloud of smoke that hovers the sky. Rivers have run dry and what flows is hazardous industrial waste that has dwindled the aquatic life and consequently, the entire cycle of the ecosystem is on the verge of collapse lest we forget our lessons history has taught.

The Future is changing in many aspects and Bangladesh corresponds with all the scientific and socio-economic predictions of ‘climate change’. It has battered lives and habitat of the people. It’s not the first time Bangladeshis have had to deal with the consequences of climatic variability but as the temperature of the earth continues to rise, parallel runs frequent disasters and so does the vulnerability of people.
Bangladesh is prone to droughts, floods and cyclone, all of which are weather-related disasters that straightaway threatens the majority of people who live below the poverty line and the risk of increase in serious diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever and polio together with an acute shortage of drinking water are just some of the few things that are in store in the Pandora’s box.
