Responsibilities & Context

Arannayk Foundation thrives to promote the conservation and restoration of natural tropical forests, forest biodiversity, and natural resources of Bangladesh. The foundation was established in 2003 under a “debt-for-nature-swap provision” made through an agreement signed between the Government of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh and the Government of the United States. Since then, the foundation has provided financial and technical support to various local NGOs to implement more than a hundred projects that contributed to forest restoration, biodiversity conservation, and livelihood improvement of forest-dependent communities to reduce their dependence on forest resources for earning a living. The foundation is registered as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee under the Bangladesh Companies Act 1994 having no share capital. Arannayk Foundation has registered with the NGO Affairs Bureau of Bangladesh in April 2024.

The foundation is, among others, implementing the Plastic Reduction Initiative in Sundarbans Transboundary International Natural Ecosystems (PRISTINE) project at Mongla, Bagerhat, and ecotourism sites of Sundarbans. This project is aiming to reduce plastic pollution occurring upstream and downstream of the Sundarbans, provide technical solutions to track plastic pollution, monitor and record waste picker’s recycling activities, promote awareness of pollution reduction, and facilitate the socio-economic development of waste pickers to sustain project outcomes.
