The government is considering whether it can introduce tiger in different densely deer-populated places like Nijhum Dwip to maintain ecological balance.
"We are thinking over this issue and I have already talked to the World Bank whether we can introduce tigers in such places where deer population is boosting in Bangladesh," said Environment and Forests Minister Hasan Mahmud on Sunday.
He was addressing a discussion marking the Global Tiger Day-2012 organised by the Department of Forest at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the city. The theme of this year in Bangladesh is 'Save Sundarbans Tiger Landscape'.
In absence of tiger, deer-population is boosting rapidly in Nijhum Dwip where around 10,000 deer are living there--but the number should be three to four thousands there. So, the issue of introducing tigers there remains under discussion, he said.
