Waterkeepers Bangladesh has been working to protect the water and water bodies of Bangladesh including its forests resources through enforcement, fieldwork and community action. We work to achieve this goal through social movement, advocacy and legal measures that ensure water quality protections. Our litigation, advocacy and community teams conduct interconnected activities that serve this mission.
