Public Education
Making biodiversity understandable
DESCF develops accessible conservation communication for students, youth, communities, and public audiences.
Biodiversity conservation, education, and coexistence
Advancing biodiversity conservation through science, education, and coexistence.
DESCF is a Bangladesh-based conservation organisation working across biodiversity education, snake conservation, snakebite awareness, human-wildlife coexistence, field documentation, and emerging research initiatives including elephant conservation and amphibian bioacoustics.
Explore DESCF
One organisation, connected workstreams for biodiversity conservation.
DESCF brings together public education, species conservation, field-informed research, nature communication, and human-wildlife coexistence under one conservation identity.
Education
Biodiversity education and youth engagement
Public-facing activities that connect students, youth, volunteers, communities, and partners with biodiversity learning and conservation responsibility.
Coexistence
Human-wildlife coexistence and species conservation
DESCF works to reduce fear, misinformation, and harmful responses through careful conservation communication around snakes, elephants, and other wildlife.
Field research, bioacoustics, and monitoring
Emerging research directions include amphibian bioacoustics, frog diversity documentation, habitat-linked biodiversity surveys, and conservation baseline development.
Why DESCF exists
Conservation becomes stronger when science, education, and public trust work together.
Bangladesh’s biodiversity faces pressure from habitat loss, misinformation, weak public awareness, human-wildlife conflict, and data gaps. DESCF responds through education, documentation, research readiness, and coexistence-focused communication.
Field Knowledge
Turning observation into conservation learning
Field documentation, species learning, habitat monitoring, and emerging bioacoustic work help build stronger conservation baselines.
Coexistence
Reducing conflict through practical knowledge
From snake awareness to elephant conservation planning, DESCF promotes safer and more responsible human-wildlife relationships.

A responsible public guide to snakes of Bangladesh.
DESCF’s snake guide remains one important part of its wider biodiversity education work. It supports safer public understanding, species learning, ecological awareness, and coexistence without encouraging risky handling.
Names, clues, and species profiles
Learn through Bangla names, English names, scientific names, identification notes, habitat information, and public-friendly species profiles.
Awareness without panic
The guide supports safer public understanding. It does not encourage snake handling, chasing, killing, or risky behaviour.
Snakes as part of biodiversity
Snakes are one part of Bangladesh’s wider biodiversity. Better knowledge can reduce fear and support coexistence.
Resources
Selected materials for conservation awareness and learning.
DESCF’s resources support biodiversity education, public awareness, field documentation, species learning, and donor-ready conservation communication.
