Natural resource of bangladesh

In This Slide you can easily know the natural resources of bangladesh.The one of the best nature country is in asia which named as Bangladesh.

1. Natural Resource of Bangladesh

2. Bangladesh is a developing country with vast quantities of natural resources that play a vital role in economic growth and diversification. These natural resources are either renewable or non-renewable of which most have been conserved such as coral reefs, islands, evergreen vegetation and mangrove forests, and wildlife such as the rare species of tigers z- the Bengal tigers. Bangladesh is small country with a rapidly growing population that has increased pressure on its natural resources of which the major ones are discussed below. The natural resources include oil, natural gas, coal, minerals, and the forest. Definition: Total natural resources rents are the sum of oil rents, natural gas rents, coal rents (hard and soft), mineral rents, and forest rents.

4. Natural Gas Natural gas is a major source of energy for Bangladesh where mining began in the 19 th  century and contributes to more than 70% of commercial energy in the country. It is the 7 th  largest natural gas producer in Asia with 26 gas fields of production producing about 2,700 million cubic feet of natural gas daily. Apart from oil production, the country also produces other natural resources such as coal, petroleum, and timber that provide energy for consumption domestically and industrially. Like many other natural resources, overexploitation leads to exhaustion which poses the main threat to natural gas reserves. In addition, the lack of proper skilled personnel to mine natural gas results in wastage and loss. The government has to import skilled labor from mining companies in developed nations such as the USA and Japan.

5. Forest The country is covered with evergreen highlands in northeastern and southeastern regions with natural deciduous forests. The Sundarbans consists the largest forest reserve in the country, taking a large share of nearly 40 percent of the total forest cover in Bangladesh. The total land covered by forests is about 20 percent of the main land. Efforts are being made to safeguard the forests from population pressure through enactment of laws, educating the public on conservation measures and adopting agro-forestry policies to maximize food production as well as conserve trees. Valuable tree species native to Bangladesh forests include the Passur , Baen , Sundari , and Keora .

6. Fisheries The fisheries resource in Bangladesh comprises of marine sources such as the sea and inland resources like ponds, rivers and lakes which take the major percentage of fish production in the country. A variety of climatic conditions favor the fishing patterns, fish farming, and general growth of the fishing industry. Bangladeshis are the biggest consumers of fish-based animal protein based on the highest per capita income and culture with 60% protein coming from fish supplies. Bangladesh is among the leading inland fisheries producers, producing more than 2.8 million tons of fish every year. It possesses plenty of prawns, lobsters, turtles, mollusks, and other fishery resources in the vast rivers and inland water bodies. The fishing industry provides about 1.4 million job opportunities to citizens of Bangladesh which helps lift the economy. In addition, fisheries contribute to foreign exchange earnings and an overall nutritious diet to the locals.

7. Oil An oil is any nonpolar chemical substance that is a viscous liquid at ambient temperatures and is both hydrophobic and lipophilic. Oils have a high carbon and hydrogen content and are usually flammable and surface active. Most oils are unsaturated lipids that are liquid at room temperature.

8. Coal Coal is a hard rock which can be burned as a solid fossil fuel. It is mostly carbon but also contains hydrogen, sulphur , oxygen and nitrogen. It is a sedimentary rock formed from peat, by the pressure of rocks laid down later on top.

9. Minerals Minerals are solid substances that are present in nature and can be made of one element or more elements combined together (chemical compounds). Gold, Silver and carbon are elements that form minerals on their own. They are called native elements.

10. Water Water  is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms.

11. Soils Soil  is a  mixture  of  organic matter ,  minerals ,  gases ,  liquids , and  organisms  that together support  life .  Earth 's body of soil, called the  pedosphere , has four important  functions : 1.as a medium for plant growth 2.as a means of  water storage , supply and purification 3.as a modifier of  Earth's atmosphere 4.as a habitat for organisms All of these functions, in their turn, modify the soil and its properties.
