The Nature Study Society of Bangladesh (NSSB) was formed in 1996 for the
collection and circulation of the facts and knowledge about nature and
natural resources and at the same time to train its personnel and members as
well as to propagate the spirit of nature conservation among people - Public
and Students. One of the objectives of NSSB is to monitor all 'Nature Study
Clubs' (along with their various activities) formed under its direct
supervision . Alongside, any nature or conservation related organization in
Bangladesh may take direct or indirect support from NSSB especially in
technological concerns. We are committed to guide each and every member of
us and the 'Nature Study Clubs' to such a limit that they become
self-sufficient and self-reliant to proceed with the same aims and
objectives, but on their own way towards a same goal. Anybody can be a
member of NSSB or open a 'Nature Study Club' in any organization under our
direct supervision. The registration may be done online or over mail.

can start in his/her
organization/institution.
