Environment and Social Development Organization – ESDO is a non-profit and non-government action research organization in Bangladesh. It works to disseminate messages about the need for environmental conservation, committed to protecting biological diversity and ensuring ecological balance. Since the official formation of ESDO in 1990, we have focused on generating knowledge amongst the broader community about how anthropogenic activities negatively impact the environment. ESDO strives to improve the livelihoods, socio-economic status, and environmental education of some of the most vulnerable communities in Bangladesh. ESDO invests in people who care for the environment by providing essential inputs and capacity building. As a pioneer organization in banning Plastic Bags in Bangladesh, we want to ensure self-reliant urban and rural communities who live in harmony with their healthy environment.
