As part of its effort to strengthen regional cooperation for wildlife protection in Asia, the World Bank has approved a $39 million financial assistance to Bangladesh and Nepal.
The project, under which $36 million will be granted to Bangladesh and $3 million to Nepal, will address conservation threats to habitats in border areas and clamp down on the illegal wildlife trade of species such as tiger, snow leopard, rhinoceros and elephant in increasingly fragmented habitats.
