A field level study in Chittagong Hill T
1.1 Background
Study tour is one of the major parts of gaining practical knowledge in modern education system. In fact in the field of Environmental science this kind of tour is desired one. Being a student of Environmental studies, we should have some practical field work with the theoretical knowledge. Otherwise the knowledge gap between the fact and theory will never be meet up. To fulfill this condition or objectives we took the opportunity of acquiring knowledge about existing environmental condition, forest and wildlife management by visiting different ecologically important areas in the south of Bangladesh. The study tour was conducted at Khgrachari ecotourism area, Rangamati ecotourism area, Bandarban ecotourism area, Cox’s Bazar Sea beach (The longest sea beach in the world) and Cox’s Bazar-Himchari water fall. Khgrachari, Rangamati and Bandarban are together termed Chittagong Hill Tracts. The Cox’s Bazar is nicer than any other recreational place of our country. The Chittagong Hill Tracts comprise an area of 13,295 km2 in south-eastern Bangladesh, and borders India and Myanmar (Burma). They formed a single district of Bangladesh until 1984, when they were divided into three separate districts, Khagrachari, Rangamati, and Bandarban. Topographically, the Chittagong Hill Tracts are the only very hilly area in Bangladesh. Together with Ladakh, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka, they constitute one of the few remaining abodes of Buddhism in South Asia. Bangladesh's fledgling but troubled tourism industry is slowly luring foreign and domestic travellers, industry officials say. One of the most popular destinations this winter was this beach resort town of Cox's Bazar on the Bay of Bengal, which drew sun-worshippers from as far away as Europe and Southeast Asia. A coastline or seashore is the area where land meets the sea or ocean. A precise line that can be called a coastline cannot be determined due to the dynamic nature of tides. The term "coastal zone" can be used instead, which is a spatial zone where interaction of the sea and land processes occurs. Both the terms coast and coastal are often used to describe a geographic location or region; for example, New Zealand's West Coast, or the East and West Coasts of the United States.
