জলবায়ুর পরিবর্তন সম্পর্কে বিশ্বের মানুষের মাঝে সচেতনতা বৃদ্ধির লক্ষ্যে প্রতি বছর ২২ এপ্রিল আন্তর্জাতিকভাবে “বিশ্ব ধরিত্রী দিবস” পালন করা হয়।
জলবায়ু পরিবর্তনের কারণে গোটা বিশ্ব এখন নানা ধরণের প্রাকৃতিক দুর্যোগে জর্জরিত। তাই প্রকৃতি ও পরিবেশ সম্পর্কে জনসাধারণের মধ্যে সচেতনতা বাড়াতে, পৃথিবীকে সুরক্ষিত ও বাসযোগ্য রাখতে বিভিন্ন দেশে এই দিবসটি পালিত হয়ে আসছে। এ বছর দিবসটির স্লোগান হল – ‘Invest In Our Planet’।
উল্লেখ্য যে, পৃথিবীকে ধ্বংসের হাত থেকে রক্ষা করতে পরিবেশ ও জলবায়ুর গুরুত্ব অনুধাবন ও সে সম্পর্কে জনসাধারণকে সঠিক বার্তা প্রদানের জন্য পরিবেশবিদদের গুরুত্ব অপরিসীম। সুতরাং বিশ্ব ধরিত্রী দিবসের লক্ষ্য বাস্তবায়নে পরিবেশবিদদের অংশগ্রহণ নিশ্চিত করতে হবে।
With great pleasure, I welcome you all to Bangladesh Poribeshbid Society- a national level platform for all environmental graduates in Bangladesh. We wish to be connected with environmental graduates and put collective efforts to progress environmental education and professional development of the graduates. From the beginning of the Society, we have already started various activities for supporting our members through providing information on jobs and scholarship opportunities, creating awareness through seminars and publications, and connecting graduates and current students through networking programs. We will explore every opportunity for our members and establish our professional positions in all sectors in Bangladesh. Also, we will take collaborative actions with other environmental organizations for enhancing environmental awareness and environmental protection in Bangladesh. I expect your warm and heartiest cooperation for fulfilling our mission and vision of the Society.
Environment is now one of the words that is used by all types of communities including scientist, businessman, public and private sectors in around the world. It becomes a central issue not only for Bangladesh context as well as in the international debate in the early part of twenty first century. Since 1996, different public and private universities of Bangladesh offer courses for the Environmental Science related Department. But the Environment Graduates are facing lot of challenges to develop their professional careers in this sector due to less professional skills and communications. For these challenges environment graduates felt to establish their own organization to develop academic excellence and professional careers in national and international level. By this visionary thought, Bangladesh Poribeshbid Society established in 2020. Now it is a national platform for all environment graduates of Bangladesh. Beside the professional and educational development, the society always encourage all types of peoples to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature, and to ensure that natural resources are used in an equitable and ecologically sustainable manner. The society always ready to provide any types of support to government and non-government organizations for improving and implementing environment policies, laws and regulations. We always welcome to all environment graduates of Bangladesh in our dream platform.
