INTRODUCTION
1.1
Sub-Project Overview
The Forest Department of Government of Bangladesh is implementing a project titled
‘Strengthening Regional Cooperation for Wildlife Protection Project’. Funding for this
project is from the World Bank (WB). The project has provision to commission sub-projects
that are in line with the project objectives. In response to calls for concept note and
submission of the full project proposal, the SRCWP project has awarded IUCN Bangladesh
Country Office a sub-project titled “Updating Species Red List of Bangladesh (Project No
- SRCWP/29-7/2013/779)” along with Forest Department as its partner. Duration of the
project is 2 years, starting from 8th December 2013 to 7thNovember 2015 and estimated cost
of the project is BDT 57,324,000.00/-. The project was awarded on 24thNovember 2013
(letter no SRCWP/29-7/2013/779) and the formal MOU between IUCN and Forest
Department was signed on 8th December 2013.
1.1.1 The IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is widely recognized as the most comprehensive
global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species. The IUCN
Red List data is used to inform the development of national, regional and sub-national
legislation on threatened species protection, and also the development of national biodiversity
strategies and action plans. It is also used to inform multi-lateral agreements such as the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES),
the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, and the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
In 2000, the IUCN Bangladesh Country Office published the first Red Book in Bangladesh,
where a total of 201 species, including fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals were
considered threatened according to Bangladesh National Criteria. A decade has passed since
the Red List Assessment has been done in Bangladesh. In September, 2003, the Assessment
Criteria has been changed globally and as a result, most countries are re-assessing or updating
their list based on the new assessment process. So, there was an urgent need for Bangladesh
to re-assess the status of the species.
1.1.2 Project Objectives and Results
Goal: The goal of The IUCN Red List is “to provide information and analyses on the status,
trends and threats to species in order to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity
conservation”.
Outcome: The outcome includes the "traditional" role of the IUCN Red List:

Identified particular species at risk of extinction and underpinned priority-setting
processes for single species remains of critical importance

Encompassed the use of data from the Red List for multi-species analyses in order
to identify and monitor trends in species status and to catalyze appropriate
conservation action.
Objective: To achieve this goal, the IUCN Red List aims to reduce the knowledge gap of
species status by revising the previous Red List of Bangladesh using recent Red List
assessment criteria version 3.1. The specific objectives of the project are to:
Page 1

Establish a baseline from which to monitor the change status of species;

Provide a global context for the establishment of conservation priorities at the local
level;

Capacity building of the country professionals in assessing the species status
following global standard assessment criteria;

Monitor, on a continuing basis, the status of a representative selection of species
(as biodiversity indicators) that cover all the major ecosystems of the country;
1.1.3 Activities
The previous Red List is outdated as several new species are explored in recent times as well
as the status of certain species also been changed. A current initiative through this project will
update Red List for seven groups of wildlife (Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Aves, Fresh
Water Fishes, Crustaceans and Butterflies) approximately 1700 species in all. The project
activities will be concentrated in all over the country with the involvement of scientists,
experts, conservationist, officials of Forest Department and IUCN.
The following steps outline the processes necessary to implement nomenclature revision and
status update for the Bangladesh Red List:
Result 1: Determined species conservation status and trends and identified species and
ecosystems under the greatest threat.
 Activity 1.1. Mobilization of the resources
 Activity 1.2. Formation of National Red List Assessment Committee (NRAC)
 Activity 1.3. Develop Red List assessment framework and implementation action plan
 Activity 1.4. Functioning of Red List Assessment Groups (RAGs)
 Activity 1.5. Independent Review by the Red List unit of IUCN
Result 2: Built in-country capacity to produce a further National Red List by providing
equipment and training and ensured the sustainability of its through developing
National Biodiversity Database as well as a network of national and international
experts.
 Activity 2.1. Skill development training by the IUCN Red List unit
 Activity 2.2. GIS based species mapping
 Activity 2.3. Updating Biodiversity Databank of Species Information System (SIS)
 Activity 2.4. Development of National Biodiversity Database
Result 3: Highlighted knowledge gaps and promoted development of effective
conservation policies and action plan on threatened species.
 Activity 3.1. Communication material development, printing and distribution
 Activity 3.2: Publishing the Red List
 Activity 3.3: National Dissemination Workshop on Red List of species

SUB-PROJECT ACTIVITY DETAIL
2.1. Project Activity Planning
The previous Red List done in 2001 is outdated as several new species are explored in recent
times as well as the status of certain species also been changed. This study will update the
Red List of seven set of species. These are birds; amphibians; reptiles; mammals; freshwater
fishes; crustacean and butterfly. The project activities will be disseminated all over the
country with the involvement of scientists, experts, conservationist, officials of Forest
Department and IUCN.
2.2 Formation of National Committee for Updating Species Red List of Bangladesh (NCUSR)
National Committee for Updating Species Red List of Bangladesh in short NC-USR. It is an
inter-ministerial committee chaired by the Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Forests
(MoEF). Chief Conservator of Forest (CCF), Bangladesh Forest Department will act as the
Member Secretary. The committee consists of 19 members representing from concerned
govt. agencies, research organizations, universities, civil societies and IUCN. The purpose of
this committee is to ensure ownership of the updated species Red List so that different govt.
agencies set their conservation policies to save the species under risk. The committee is
awaiting for notifying by the Secretary, MoEF. Letter sent by the CCF, FD for the approval
of the committee is attached in an Annex I.
2.3 Develop Red List assessment framework and implementation action plan
Assessment process, List of species to be assessed and assessor to be engaged in this process
already finalized. The final action plan will be made through national workshops in
August'14.
2.4 RAG-Butterfly Survey
UCN Bangladesh initiated "Updating Species Red List of Bangladesh" by revising previous
Red List of Bangladesh back to 13 years. This is the first time to include Butterfly group in
Bangladesh to determine its conservation status. Some information gap existing in this
venture like present status of taxon, their abundance, population size, GPS coordinate, habitat
condition and their threats. Therefore the butterfly group went out for a tour to fill the gaps
and collect more information to strengthen the previous outcome. The tour summary report
develops based on physical visit of 04 geo-locations, under 02 districts of Chittagong division
during 28th March to 01st April, 2014 attached in Annex II. The locations includes precise
forest areas of Seeta Pahar (GPS coordinates, 22°29'25.94'' N 092°10'43.96'' E - 22°29'38.26''
N 092°10'42.18'' E), Raam pahar (GPS coordinates 22°29.741' N 092°11.176' E 22°29.883' N 092°10.589' E) hailed from kaptai upizilla under the Rangamati district and
