TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the contribution of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in sustaining forest-based rural livelihood in and around a protected area (PA) of Bangladesh, and their potential role in enhancing households' resilience capacity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the initial response to such intervention in a newly declared protected area in order to gain insights about wider implications in other parts of the country and found that considerable change took place in household forest resource collection patterns, and people's dependency on non-forest income increased significantly during the project implementation period.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an exploratory survey to understand the role and stakeholder views on conservation prospects and perceived ecological feasibility of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and harvesting schemes in a northeastern PA of Bangladesh, namely the Satchari National Park.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new and more reliable estimate of carbon in Bangladesh forest ecosystems, along with their geo-spatial distribution, is provided, revealing great variability in carbon density in different forests and higher carbon stock in the mangrove ecosystems.

TL;DR: In the context of renewed interest in collaboration in natural resource management, the collaborative governance approach has lately been introduced to the forest Protected Areas (PAs) in Bangladesh as mentioned in this paper, where the adoption of this co-management approach is seen as an attempt to influence the governance process towards a transformation from the conventional custodian system to a more participatory management regime.
