Biodiversity• Biodiversity is the variety and variability

of life on earth. It encompasses all forms of aquatic and terrestrial plants, animals and micro-organisms, their genetic materials and the ecosystem which they are part. It is important to us for our subsistence. So, biodiversity is a very important for the welfare of human being.

Description• . Location: My home district is Kurigram. In

order to assessing the current fish biodiversity of my locality, I went to my nearest market named ‘Ulipur Bazar’, a famous fish market of Kurigram District.

  Infrastructure: The fish market is made of brick

& the roof is made of tin.

Causes Of Loss Of Biodiversity

• Habitat Destruction • Pollution • Species

Introduction

Recommendation• The fish market is not so diversified.

So, several NGO’s along with government should take some initial steps to increase the fish diversity of this market.
