The Dhaka Times Desk Miraj Mia is in charge of Pakhi Abhay Ashram in Baikka Bill, Srimangol. It is his stake to protect the bill birds and bill fish even with his own life. Mirash Mia's dedicated Prana Prakriti Pram will come up in our report.
Mirash Mia is an ordinary person, she was a school teacher in her early life. He is the father of 3 children in his family life. However, he did not go to his family for a long time, leaving his wife and children and spent the night in the watch tower of Bill.
From 1984, Mirash Mia's story of tying her life with birds began. He himself cannot say exactly when Mirash Mia began to bond with the birds little by little. Since 1984, Mirash Mia and 4.5 other people have built a huge garden of 35,000 hijal tamals on Baikka's bill. Foreign guest birds come and nest in these trees. Bill eats fish. Rides from tree to tree.
Mirash Mia said, in fact some of us together have made Baikkar Bill a refuge for fish, as a result there are fish here and many birds come to fish. But the sad thing is that if the fish is fine, the bird is not fine. Thousands of birds come to our bill, they don't just stay here! It comes again and goes to the neighboring area. The hunters who were there killed them. Although we protect the birds around the bill, they are very unsafe outside the bill.
Mirash Mia also said, "Birds are unsafe because the administration does not say anything here, why? These birds are the last to go to the bottom of the administration. If the government had focused on protecting these birds, they would have been safe here. Meanwhile, poachers also take fish when they get a chance, so the birds are also in food shortage.
There is a lot of shortage in Mirash Mia's family. And the urge of this lack did not make him retreat from the love of birds. The birds are in awe of him. Always looking for new guests. The history of all birds is memorized by Mirash Mia.
Mirash Mia said, many species of birds come in Baikka's bill. So far 166 species of birds have come in this bill. This time more than 22-23 thousand birds have arrived. These birds come in groups from different countries of the world. They are our guests, they come from bad weather countries to seek shelter in our country. But if we heat them, they might not come next year. They are very good for our nature.
Mirash Mia said, day by day the number of bird species in our Baikka Bill is increasing. New species of birds are seen every year. But the number of birds is not increasing like that. It's because of us. We have made their habitat unsafe.
During winter Mirash Mia and the rest of the guards do not sleep. They take turns to spend a lonely night. They said that we will not be allowed to hunt any bird in the Baikka Bill border as long as we live. It is a free range of birds. We want to keep this place safe for birds. Birds come to this country to love us and we also want to give them love.
