Environment and Social Development Organization

About us

Environment and Social Development Organization- ESDO is a non-profit and non-government organization based in Bangladesh. It is working to spread the message about the need for environmental conservation – to ensure the protection of biological diversity and ecological balance. Since the official formation of ESDO in 1990, we have focused on generating knowledge amongst the wider community about how human activity can negatively impact on the environment of Bangladesh. ESDO strives to improve the livelihoods, the socio-economic status, and simultaneously the environmental education of some of the most vulnerable communities in Bangladesh. ESDO invests in the people to care for the environment by providing essential inputs and capacity building. As a pioneer organization to ban Plastic Bags in Bangladesh, we want to ensure self-reliant urban and rural communities who live in harmony with their healthy environment.
