The International Union for Conservation of Nature Bangladesh (IUCNB) office maintains a collaborative and supportive workplace culture where every member contributes to their projects and overcomes any challenges collectively. The landscaping project at this site was conducted with this fact in mind. The project was designed to create a space that will foster collaboration and interaction between the members of the IUCNB.


The landscaping project was also designed to promote the work done by IUCNB. We achieved this by creating a habitat for different species of local birds that have become a rare sight in the city and have positively contributed to the environment.


This small site size posed a unique challenge in our effort to showcase local plant species that we overcame by utilizing tubs of different sizes and shapes instead of planters. Through our work, we converted the small terrace of the IUCNB office into a sanctuary for local birds and a symbol of the IUCNB's commitment to conservation.
