CNRS | Center for Natural Resource Studies

CNRS is one of the most recognized pro-environmental national NGOs in Bangladesh. It was conceptualized in 1993, from Bangladesh Flood Action Plan (FAP16) Environmental Study; and the formal journey started in 1994. Since formation, CNRS has been active in this field and has drawn attention of relevant local, national and international actors including government and funding agencies through demonstrating innovations in its approaches and producing tangible learning outcomes. On behalf of its General Committee, an Executive Committee (EC) governs CNRS. CNRS aims to join with others in influencing the national development strategy towards directions that support sustainable environment in Bangladesh. Natural Resource Management (NRM), Environment and Water, Livelihood and Job Creation, Food, Agriculture and Nutrition, Climate Change Adaptation (CCA), Mitigation and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) and Health, Diversity and Governance, Studies, Monitoring, Evaluation and Communication are our key thematic areas of expertise.
