Protect environment and biodiversity of Jahangirnagar University

Jahangirnagar University, known for its autonomous research-oriented education, is not only recognized for its academic excellence but also for its unique role in preserving environmental diversity. The entire campus, located near Savar, Dhaka, is surrounded by lakes, ponds, water bodies, and lush greenery. It is a sanctuary for migratory birds during winter, and many species of birds and small creatures thrive in its forests and water bodies. This open natural environment makes the university a special place for students. However, the unchecked construction of buildings in the name of development is threatening the beauty and biodiversity of this prestigious institution.
