Under its partnership with the Government of Bangladesh, USAID is providing targeted technical support to aspects of the Nishorgo Program. The Nishorgo Support Project works closely with the Forest Department and key conservation stakeholders to develop and implement a co-management approach to help conserve the country's large tracts of Protected Areas, where partnerships for conservation are essential.

The project is working at six initial pilot sites to begin adapting a Protected Area co-management approach for Bangladesh. The sites are Lawachara National Park, Rema Kelanga Wildlife Sanctuary, Satchuri Reserve Forest, Madhupur National Park, Teknaf Game Reserve, and Chunati Wildlife Sanctuary.

NSP is implemented by IRG of Washington DC, USA in association with partners: Community Development Center Chittagong (CODEC), Nature Conservation & Management (NACOM) and RDRS.
