During our field survey a total of 1,684 species belonging to 42 families are recorded from this area and these species have therapeutic value. Among them, 22 species belonged to 17 families; 12 shrubs and 10 herbaceous plants belonged to 10 families and 9 families, respectively. According to the record, there is only one family member of five climbers belonging to five families. There are 3 kinds, 5 families (Azusa, Asteraceae, Asteraceae, Asteraceae, Aphididae) in each of the four families (Oleaceaceae, Combs, Sanco, Verbenae) out of 42 medicinal families, each of which has 2 There are only one kind of family in the family. The plant species used in medicine is first determined by the local name. Families of plants, plants and place names, habits and incidence rates are shown in the table.
Of these species, trees (44%), shrubs (24%), herbs (20%), climbers and grasses (12%) were used as medicinal plants. Most species are collected from forests, followed by home gardens, farmlands, roadside, catchment areas and other places (fallow lands, local markets, etc.). Everyone in the surveyed area and its surrounding areas is in a state of moderate to poverty, the main occupations are tea workers, day laborers, farmers, some of whom are businessmen. It is clear that people living around forests are heavily dependent on forest resources. They are also using illegal adjacent forests to maintain livelihoods. Because there is no modern sanitation equipment they are widely dependent on plants to treat the disease. For simple diseases, they usually do not talk to grass experts. However, for relatively complex diseases, they consulted local traditional therapists who gathered medicinal plants from the forest.
In this study the distribution of medicinal plants in various geological formations was also calculated (Figure 2). It is speculated that many medicinal plants will grow in the plain (40.5%), followed by the middle of the hill (34.0%), and the rest (25.5%) will grow at the top of the mountain. From this study it can be seen that shrubs of medicinal plants are the largest (40.5%) in the middle of the mountain, followed by the central (24.7%) herbs, (35.2%) grasses and climbers . On the mountain, the last (21.6%) tree species is in the plain.
Sundarban in the south, east and west are three protected forests in Bangladesh. This area is covered tightly with mangrove, it is the biggest protected area of Bengal tiger. Sundarbans National Park is a national park, tiger reserve and biosphere reserve located in Sundalbans delta, West Bengal, India.
For nearly two decades, the United Nations Development Agency has revolutionized new ways of protecting forests, including Rawakkara National Park, and other wetlands and ecosystems in the country. The village committee and the Bangladesh Forestry Department jointly monitor protected areas to prevent logging, poaching and other illegal activities. The United States Agency for International Development also teaches people living in these areas to reduce their reliance on natural resources collected from these areas while earning money and acquiring new skills to support their families.
National park is a large public land that is reserved for unique plants, animals, and places they live in. National parks preserve the beauty of nature. There are many endemic species in the national park. Places important to indigenous peoples and places showing people's lifestyle are also protected. The national park is actually a protected area. Definition of protected areas by IUCN: "Clearly defined geospatial space, recognized by law or other effective means and used to achieve long-term nature conservation with related ecosystem services and cultural values It is centrally managed "
The national park can protect some of the most famous natural landmarks, but the national forest is such a remarkable landscape. The US Forest Department is part of the Department of Agriculture and manages 154 natio
