How many people live in the Hakaluki Haor?
What are the threats to the Hakaluki Haor?
The decline  in  wetlands  has  resulted  in  more  than  40%  of  freshwater fish  species  being  classed as  threatened  with  national  extinction  (IUCN  Bangladesh  2000). Loss of  biodiversity  and  destruction  of swamp forest are two threats for Hakaluki haor.
Agricultural expansion is another threat for Hakaluki haor affecting adversely the wetland ecosystem and reducing the productivity of aquatic resources. Human activity related to farming in the haor hinders wild life habitation.
