SDG Goal 15: Since 1995, Rupantar started working to save Sundarban. Using Pot song as a tool Rupantar had raised awareness. As of now, Rupantar had developed 5 pot songs, dramas, palakirtan productions and organized national Sundarban conference on Sundarban and its protection.
On 14 February 2001, Rupantar was the lead organization for organizing the first national conference for three days on protecting Sundarban. The conference was inaugurated by the President of Bangladesh Chief Justice Mr. Sahabuddin Ahmed. Since then, every year on 14 February we observe Sundaban day with a view to create awareness among mass people to save the biodiversity of Sundarban.
In 2004, we have officially launched project named “peoples’ initiative for conservation of the Sundarbans”, with our own funding in the impact zone of the Sundarbans. The main objective of the project is to save Sundarban- for ecological balancing and environmental development. “Sundarban Samachar” and “Badaban” are publications owned by Rupantar on protecting Sundarban. We have produced and screened films and documentaries based on the Sundarbans. With support from CARE Bangladesh, UNESCO, GIZ projects have also implemented various projects to protect Sundarbans.
