Not only the people of Bangladesh are colorful but the nature here is much more colorful. Especially in the south western part of the country has the most vibrant natural and wild life than any other part of the country. Dublar char is a small island on the mouth of the Bay of Bengal in the south western part of Bangladesh at Shundarban of Satkhira district. It’s a magnificent place which a lot of importance to the Hindu pilgrims and every year staged a four day long fair during the Rash Purnima.

As everything has a dark side, the fair has one too. Although the fair has a very important place in life of the local people but the dark side it brings with it has a long term consequence too. Every year thousands of people came here for attending the fair but all are not pilgrim seekers, some of them are enemy of the nature and wild life. These thugs kill hundreds of deer and destroy valuable natural life of the only mangrove forest of the country.

As the fair has religious importance, it can’t be banned but destroying the jungle and its wild life must be stopped. So what can be done in this matter? I think there should be some rules & regulations imposed into the people come here in Dublar char about what can they bring with them and where they can stay. And strong inspection should be monitored by the authority whether there is any threat to the natural life of the place. Moreover people should be made aware about the effects of the destruction of the natural life.

We should all participate in protecting the country’s wild life and environment. We should take mental pleasure and satisfaction by observing and protecting the gorgeous natural life that our country possessed, and do whatever we can do to prevent the destruction. So in that way we will be able to carry our tradition of colorful cultural life to the next generation with a beautiful environment for them to live in.
