The BCDP seeks to ensure the long-term protection of the cetacean diversity
in Bangladesh by building local capacity and developing an effective science and
community based conservation plan.
In July 2006 the Bangladesh Cetacean Diversity
Project (BCDP) was initiated with the support of the Wildlife Conservation
Society (WCS) in response to studies that found a diverse and abundant cetacean
fauna in Bangladesh waters requiring conservation interventions and additional
research to ensure long term viability.
We believe that with a strong collaborative effort, Bangladesh can serve as a
critical ‘safety net’ for freshwater and coastal cetaceans whose populations are
disappearing elsewhere in Asia.
