Digital polygon dataset of Population Distribution per District of Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. This dataset is basic vector layer based on LGED Administrative Base Map and Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) 2001.
A database (NDP-068) was generated from estimates of geographically referenced carbon densities of forest vegetation in tropical Southeast Asia for 1980. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to incorporate spatial databases of climatic, edaphic, and geomorphological indices and vegetation to estimate potential (i.e., in the absence of human intervention and natural disturbance) carbon densities of forests. The resulting map was then modified to estimate actual 1980 carbon density as a function of population density and climatic zone. The database covers the following 13 countries: Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia (Campuchea), India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The data sets within this database are provided in three file formats: ARC/INFOTM exported integer grids; ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) files formatted for raster-based GIS software packages; and generic ASCII files with x, y coordinates for use with non-GIS software packages.
The database includes ten ARC/INFO exported integer grid files (five with the pixel size 3.75 km x 3.75 km and five with the pixel size 0.25 degree longitude x 0.25 degree latitude) and 27 ASCII files. The first ASCII file contains the documentation associated with this database. Twenty-four of the ASCII files were generated by means of the ARC/INFO GRIDASCII command and can be used by most raster-based GIS software packages. The 24 files can be subdivided into two groups of 12 files each.
The files contain real data values representing actual carbon and potential carbon density in Mg C/ha (1 megagram = 10^6 grams) and integer-coded values for country name, Weck's Climatic Index, ecofloristic zone, elevation, forest or non- forest designation, population density, mean annual precipitation, slope, soil texture, and vegetation classification. One set of 12 files contains these data at a spatial resolution of 3.75 km, whereas the other set of 12 files has a spatial resolution of 0.25 degree. The remaining two ASCII data files combine all of the data from the 24 ASCII data files into 2 single generic data files. The first file has a spatial resolution of 3.75 km, and the second has a resolution of 0.25 degree. Both files also provide a grid-cell identification number and the longitude and latitude of the centerpoint of each grid cell.
The 3.75-km data in this numeric data package yield an actual total carbon estimate of 42.1 Pg (1 petagram = 10^15 grams) and a potential carbon estimate of 73.6 Pg; whereas the 0.25-degree data produced an actual total carbon estimate of 41.8 Pg and a total potential carbon estimate of 73.9 Pg.
Fortran and SASTM access codes are provided to read the ASCII data files, and ARC/INFO and ARCVIEW command syntax are provided to import the ARC/INFO exported integer grid files. The data files and this documentation are available without charge on a variety of media and via the Internet from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC).

This interactive map of Bangladesh highlights the project locations of the Integrated Agricultural Productivity Project (IAPP) and PRAN. Bangladesh is divided into seven administrative divisions, which are broken down into 64 districts, and further divided into 485 upazilas. This map overlays sub-national poverty data, demographic indicators, and other information relevant to the program. IAPP will target the districts of Rangpur, Kurigram, Lalmonirhat, and Nilfamari in the north and the districts of Barisal, Patuakhali, Barguna and Jhalokathi in the south. The project is expected to increase the productivity of major crops like cereals and pulses, increase the productivity of fish and livestock, increase the availability of certified seed, increase the irrigated area, and the income of farmers in all 54 upazilas in these eight districts. The project areas were selected for their high rates of poverty, food insecurity, and their vulnerability to natural shocks such as tidal surge in the south, and flash flood and drought in the north. GAFSP is financing the expansion of food processing and manufacturing capacity of Natore Agro Limited from PRAN group. PRAN group is the largest food and nutrition company in Bangladesh, with more than 40,000 employees and over 200 different products. The enhancement of operations is creating new jobs (over 1,200 expected), in a region severely affected by unemployment and is increasing the opportunities for local producers as raw material suppliers for the company.

Bangladesh is a South Asian country located at the crossroads of the Indochina and Indo-Himalayan subregions, making it a country of rich faunal diversity. Bangladesh's high population density paired with rapid habitat alteration leaving only 6% of its natural habitats threatens its faunal diversity. Over 1,455 bat species live on earth, providing immense ecological services to maintain biodiversity. The paucity of bat research in Bangladesh and the lack of comprehensive work has led us to set the goal of checking how many species are present in Bangladesh, and the possibility of bat species yet to have occurred. Here we compiled species occurrence data on the bats of Bangladesh and states in neighboring countries (India – states are West Bengal, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Assam, Tripura, Mizoram; Myanmar – states are Chin, Rakhine) from the museums (American Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Natural History Museum at United Kingdom, Field Museum of Natural History, Hungarian Natural History Museum, and Royal Ontario Museum), Global Biodiversity Information Facility, and literature, and constructed distribution maps for each species. The maps depicted both the fine-scale and coarse-scale distribution of the species. We confirmed 31 species are occurring in Bangladesh – among them, 22 species are confirmed with the voucher specimen, 15 species are associated with the preserved tissues, and one is confirmed with the morphometric data and key characteristics. Based on the species occurrence in the states of India and Myanmar, along with the habitat preference, an additional 83 species are yet to have occurred in Bangladesh. Among them, 38 species are categorized as Highly Probable, 33 species are Probable, and 10 species are Possible. We recommend bat surveys are urgent in Bangladesh using all complementary capture techniques that will contribute to voucher specimen collections and confirm the presence of bats. In addition, echolocation calls of bats can help establish call libraries.

For the vast majority of human existence, our global population remained a mere fraction of what it is today. However, the last few centuries have borne witness to an extraordinary transformation in human demography. In the year 1800, the global population stood at a modest one billion individuals. Fast forward to the present day, and we find ourselves amidst a staggering figure of over 8 billion people inhabiting our planet.
Yet, despite this exponential growth trajectory, demographers now project a fascinating shift on the horizon: the expectation that global population growth will plateau by the close of this century.
Within the vast repository of Our World in Data, we delve deeply into the intricacies of population dynamics, offering a comprehensive array of data, charts, and analyses elucidating the nuanced changes in population growth. From the geographical distribution of populations to temporal shifts and future projections, our platform serves as a rich tapestry of insights into this paramount aspect of human civilization.
One of the most illuminating tools at our disposal is the population cartogram—a unique visualization method that transcends traditional geographical maps to provide a more accurate depiction of global population distribution. Unlike conventional maps, which delineate territories based solely on landmass, population cartograms offer a perspective where countries are resized according to their respective populations.
In our exploration of the population cartogram for the year 2018, we uncover a myriad of revelations. Small nations characterized by high population densities manifest as enlarged entities, accentuating their significance on the global stage. Bangladesh, Taiwan, and the Netherlands emerge prominently, their amplified proportions underscoring their demographic density. Conversely, vast territories with comparatively sparse populations undergo a visual reduction in size. Countries like Canada, Mongolia, Australia, and Russia, despite their expansive landmasses, shrink in relative stature, highlighting the intriguing interplay between territory and population.
This innovative approach to mapping not only challenges conventional perceptions but also provides invaluable insights into the complex mosaic of human settlement patterns and demographic trends. By transcending the limitations of traditional cartography, population cartograms offer a nuanced lens through which to perceive the evolving dynamics of our global community.
To delve deeper into the nuances of this population cartogram and its implications, we invite you to explore our comprehensive article dedicated to this fascinating subject. Within its pages, you will find a detailed analysis, accompanied by captivating visuals and insightful commentary, elucidating the significance of population cartograms in understanding our world.
At Our World in Data, we remain committed to unraveling the complexities of global population dynamics, offering a platform that fosters informed discourse and deepens our understanding of the forces shaping our collective future. Join us on this illuminating journey as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of human demography, charting a course towards a more enlightened tomorrow.
