In Bangladesh, forest management is a sustainable process through which forest resources are preserved, restored and properly used. The forest plays an important role in dealing with the effects of climate change. The forest is under threat due to deforestation, population pressure and illegal occupation. So the government and various private organizations are working together to protect the forest through social planning, co-operation and policies.
