Haor (Wetland) Eco-Interpretation Center, Moulvibazar, Bangladesh

Project idea

When people come to this project after passing through a few villages, they will know, see, acquire knowledge and at the end of the day, even if they can't do anything positive for nature, there is a lot to be done so that there is no curse.
The project has tried to reflect the existing land patterns, isles, elements of nature, forms so that the birds do not think of anything new from above while flying and are not afraid.

Project description

Project description
The project is located in Hakaluki Haor area of Moulvibazar, Bangladesh. To determine whether in naturally diversified (Eco-sensistive) site, any project like this can be set up or not. According to the target 7.1 of "The Ramsar Conventions Program on Communication, Capacity Building, Education,Participation and Awareness (CEPA) 2016-2024". Moreover, the relevant words have also been mentioned in verses 4 and 6, but of course in compliance with the laws and policy.
Next to the haor is a courtyard house called "Pakhi Bari " (House of Bird), surrounded by hundreds of trees(Hijol,Barun,Korosh). Area-based meetings in the yard, people are always coming and going. Still thousands of birds take shelter in the surrounding trees at night, and roam the haor during the day.
The first objective of the project was to in- crease the bird sanctuary by planting thousands of trees(identified), to ensure that the birds would not be frightened despite the presence of human beings and to take shelter as birds are getting lower in number.
One of the objectives of the project is an environment with less footprint structure, but covered with thousands of trees. Prior to the commencement of the project, to determine the area to be covered in a large area, the contextual adjectives of different layers, bird movements, bird migration and shelter adjectives, ecological adjectives, change of water height due to change of seasons, altitude adjectives, people and nature. The limitations are again reunited and concerned further, the biosphere reserve, the buffering zone. Considering the fact of the existing tourist spots and localities, especially where they are now and even though people are living there, birds are not afraid,if we take the possible places closer to the haor(wetland),there will be more chances of pollution.
Another purpose of the project was to identify the location and arrange for people to stay next to the existing locality. The project has tried to reflect the existing land patterns, isles, elements of nature,forms so that the birds do not think of anything new from above while flying and are not afraid.
From the level of the road,people will come up a 10 feet high platform through a long elevated entry path (bridge) and enter the center and gain knowledge about the nature inside (museum) and outside (reality) through a natural environment.Then getting out and enjoy a round semi-shaded seating area,where one can enjoy him/herself in the midst of countless trees, separated from nature and together again.People will be trapped in the cage,birds will be free.One side of the Bird Observatory has gone up 35 feet subway which will give the opportunity to see birds and nature from above,where the other side goes down at -03 feet level. And there are watch towers all over the place from this whole Bird Observatory,from where the trail leads to trees,birds,water etc. in different layers & heights.
Through visiting the centre,people will know,see,acquire knowledge and finally,even if they can't do anything positive for nature,at least they will be tried not to do anything negative for nature.
