EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES AND INSTITUTIONS
USAID CREL, Bangladesh
Climate change and a growing population are putting increasing levels of stress on Bangladesh’s forests, wetlands and other ecosystems. The USAID Climate Resilient Ecosystems and Livelihoods (CREL) Project brings together women and men from resource-dependent households in targeted landscapes, civil society groups, and the Government of Bangladesh to collectively conserve, protect and manage forests, wetlands and critical ecosystems.
