“…The survey was carried out in January 2018 (winter season) and April 2018 (spring season). Fixed Radius Point Count method (Sarkar et al 2009) was used and altogether 28 plots were established at four different sites (bus park area, mine area, community forest area and Botanical Garden area). Selection of sites was based upon the forest types and habitats.…”

Bird survey was conducted in Phulchoki hill during two different seasons in January 2018 and April 2018. The objective of the study was to identify seasonal avian diversity, and to determine relative abundance and species richness. Fixed radius point- count method was used to evaluate the bird diversity and their number. Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index was used to calculate the diversity of species during two different seasons. A total of 78 species of birds belonging to 7 orders and 24 families were recorded. Passeriformes was the most dominant order with 58 species and Sylvidae was the most dominant family with 14 species. 59 bird species were recorded in winter and 50 in spring seasons. The analysis of data on residential status revealed that 64 species were residents, 10 species winter visitors and 4 species summer visitors. The relative abundance of species was Very Common (n= 16), Common (n= 38), Uncommon (n= 9) and Rare (n= 15). Higher Shannon- Weiner Diversity Index (H'= 1.488) was recorded during the winter season and low during the spring season (H'= 1.169). Evenness index showed that birds were evenly distributed in winter season (E= 0.253) than spring season (E= 0.207). Maximum birds were seen in Mining area during both winter and spring season and minimum birds in the bus park area of Phulchoki due to habitat destruction and human disturbances.

“…Among the total observed wildlife, amphibians were 6.50% (8 species), reptilians 10.57% (13 species), birds 68.29% (84 species) and mammals were 14.64% (18 species) (Table 1). Sarker et al (2009) recorded 27 species of birds from two urban sites of Uttara, Dhaka. Rahman et al (2013) reported 89 species of wild animals of which, six (6.74%) species were amphibians, 11 (12.36%) reptiles, 56 (62.93%) birds and 16 (17.94%) mammals from Sirajgonj, Bangladesh.…”

The species diversity and abundance of wildlife are the important indicators of a healthy ecosystem. A survey-based scientific study on species diversity, abundance and status of vertebrate wildlife was conducted from May 2015 to April 2016 at Sreepur upazila, Magura, Bangladesh. A total of 123 species of vertebrate wildlife was recorded during the 12 months of study period. Among them, eight species (6.5%) were amphibians, 13 (10.57%) reptiles, 84 (68.29%) birds and 18 species (14.64%) were mammals. Out of 84 species of birds, 45 (53.57%) were passerines and 39 (46.43%) non-passerines. Most of the observed birds (72 species, 85.72%) were resident and the rest 12 species (14.28%) were migratory. The highest number of wildlife species was observed in winter (108 species, 87.80%), particularly in December (62 species, 50.40%). The lowest number of species was recorded in June (33 species, 26.83%). Out of 123 species of vertebrate wildlife, three (2.44%) were very common, nine (7.32%) common, 26 (21.14%) fairly common and 85 (69.1%) were common. Of the total species, 117 (95.12%) species were least concern, five (4.06%) near threatened and one (0.81%) was endangered according to IUCN Bangladesh 2015. Implementation of conservation and management plan is required to save the wildlife in the study area. J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour. Manag. 2021, 7(1): 51-62

The fast development of urbanization in Dhaka frequently makes gigantic weight on its current green and open spaces. Dhaka city is experiencing e an enormous urban turn of events. The open spaces for example Parks, fields, water bodies among others are paying the cost for those huge advancement ventures of Dhaka city. Ramna Park is an urban recreational centre. It is a huge habitation for flora and fauna species especially avifauna. Various beneficiary ecosystem services are derived from the Ramna Park area. The given perspective inspired the authors to conduct the present study to identify the ecosystem services and the plants' species diversity in Ramna Park, Dhaka. Five specific types of provisioning services are identified in Ramna Park. The identified provisioning services are, eight different types of fish in the lake, Thirty-two different types of fruits (plant), Twenty-eight different types of medicinal (plant), Fifty-eight different types of ornamental (flower) plant species. Due to the huge vegetation cover, lots of dry leaves, twigs and dead dry things are also produced in Ramna Park. There are twenty-seven specific types of cultural services Park and Nine regulating services were identified in Ramna Park. Identified regulating services are, photosynthesis, carbon sequestration and storage, air quality regulation, pollination, and seed dispersal, air temperature regulation, airflow regulation, noise level control, water quality control, and waste management. It was noted in the study that Ramna Park is a huge habitat for plants, avifauna, fish, and some other faunal species. Moreover, it provides a huge range of habitat for eight fish species, forty-two bird species, and one hundred and fifty-one plant species. A total of one hundred fifty-one specific types of plant species were identified in Ramna Park. The identified plant species are categorized into four plant types trees (100 species), Herbs (15 species), Shrubs (24 species), and Climbers (12 species).
