Rampal coal fire power plant and the destruction of
1. RAMPAL Coal-fire Power Plant and
the destruction of SUNDARBANS
A PRESENTION by :-Md. NAYON HOSSAIN, Student,
department of environmental sciences ,
JAHANGIRNAGAR university
2. The Flooded forest …the
SUNDARBANS… LET,s discover
more……
1.World largest mangrove forest
2.Unesco declared as world heritage site
3.Total area of SUNDARBANS Bangladesh is 5,771 sq.km
4.Home of Royal BANGEL tiger,
5.The rainfall and humidity are both high.it supports a
spectacular wildlife both in terms of number and variety
6. Natural beauty of SUNDARBANS
Home of 49 species of
mammals
315 Species of
birds
7. The SUNDARBANS are home to
mammals, birds reptiles ,fish , an
insect population including honey -
bees
8. THE SUNDARBANs……………..

Javan Rhinocers , water
buffalo , gangs river dolphin,

fishes 120 species , tiger shark, bull
shark, hammerheads, anchovy
SUNDARBANS provide
livelihood to….
300,000 people,2.5 million people
live in surrounding villages
9. How The RAMPAL Coal Power
Plant will Destroy The
SUNDARBANS………….
11. Location of thermal power
stations are avoided within 25
km of the outer periphery of the
following…
1.metropolitan cities
2.Nationalpark and wildlifesanctuaries
3.Ecologically Sensative areas like tropical
forest biosphere reserve ,important lake and coastalareas rich
coral formation
12. But in Bangladesh , it is being allowed to
set up a large coal based thermal power
plant at a distance of 14 km.
18. Some scattered mangrove would be
removed for jetty construction
.During construction phase ,solid waste and
wastes water discharge to the river would cause water
pollution
.Destroy the habitat of birds ,eagle
. Creating noise pollution
.EIA report concerns that ,”if the navigational ,spillages
,noise , speed ,lighting ,waste disposal rules are not
properly maintained, it may impactthe ecosystem
of royal BENGAL tiger, deer , crocodiles,
dolphins,mangrove etc.
25. At a glance…..
1.Watercolumn may be polluted
2.shipto ship transfer activites at AKARM
point will generat noise thus creat distrubnce to the
wildlife of SUNDARBANS
3.Thecoalcarrying vessels ,plying along to
PASSURE river ,will generate wave which will cause
shore erosion
27. Other PROBLEM ………
1.Thepower plant will generate 7 lakh
tonnes of sky ash 2 lakh Tonnes of bottom ash per
year
2.Theashes contain sulfur carbon dioxide,
arsenic, mercury, lead, chromium ,
28. Prof Dr. M A SATTAR in his study
showed that………
Ground water of POSSUR
would be polluted by
amount of waste produced
due to burning of the coal
and toxic substance can
contaminate drinking water
