New Monitoring and Investigation Sections

EcoBangla Flood Risk Monitor provides real-time flood risk assessment across Bangladesh. This life-saving tool tracks flood risk levels for major cities, calculates dynamic risk indices based on current weather data and river levels, and delivers color-coded alerts (green/yellow/red) for quick risk identification. When high-risk conditions develop, additional vulnerable cities automatically appear on the monitor. Visual pulse animations indicate risk severity, ensuring users immediately understand danger levels. The Flood Risk Monitor addresses Bangladesh's most persistent natural disaster threat. With millions living in flood-prone areas and climate change intensifying weather extremes, real-time risk information helps communities prepare, evacuate when necessary, and respond effectively. This feature potentially saves lives and protects property by giving advance warning based on data rather than guesswork. EcoBangla Investigation launches our investigative journalism desk combining rigorous research, field reporting, and expert analysis to uncover systemic environmental challenges. Our inaugural investigation – "The Price of Safety: How Nuclear Protection Engineered a Flooding Crisis" – reveals how protective embankments around the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant have altered river flow patterns, dramatically increasing flood frequency in neighboring districts. This investigation exemplifies EcoBangla's commitment to holding powerful actors accountable. Nuclear safety infrastructure, while protecting the plant, created unintended consequences for vulnerable communities downstream. Our reporting documents these impacts through interviews, hydrological data analysis, and on-the-ground observation. This is environmental journalism at its most essential – revealing hidden connections between development projects and community harm. EcoBangla Nuclear Watch provides comprehensive monitoring of nuclear facilities and their environmental impacts. As Bangladesh enters the nuclear energy era with Rooppur, transparent monitoring becomes critical. This section covers nuclear safety assessments, environmental monitoring data, community health impacts, regulatory compliance, and emergency preparedness. Citizens deserve access to information about nuclear facilities affecting their lives and environments. EcoBangla Eco Health offers comprehensive environmental health monitoring. Track air quality indices across cities, water quality data for major sources, soil contamination reports, and other indicators affecting daily life. Access health advisories during pollution events, safety guidelines for vulnerable populations, and community health data showing trends over time. Environmental health directly impacts quality of life – this section makes that connection visible and actionable. EcoBangla Eco Sport celebrates the intersection of athletics and environmentalism. Highlighting eco-friendly sporting events, athletes advocating for environmental causes, and sustainable sports initiatives across Bangladesh. Sports reach audiences environmental messaging sometimes misses. When beloved athletes champion sustainability or major sporting events adopt green practices, millions take notice. This section harnesses sports' cultural power for environmental awareness. These new sections transform EcoBangla from environmental news site to comprehensive environmental information platform. Users access critical safety data, in-depth investigations, specialized monitoring, and diverse content meeting various interests and needs.
