They will be awarded with “Bangabandhu Award for Wildlife Conservation 2015” for outstanding contribution in protecting environment, forest, wildlife and biodiversity. RAB will get a “special award” under the category of institutions for promoting wildlife-related education, research and conservation.
The three others are NISAN-Naogaon Initiatives for Society Heritage and Nature, JU teacher Prof Mohammad Monirul Hasan Khan and M Hamid Master from Rajshahi.
