A small population of crab-eating macaque was located in the Whykheong region of the Cox’s Bazar Forest Division. The population is greatly threatened due to rapid expansion of shrimp cultivation in the area. The population status, food habit and distribution so far studied are presented in this paper. The possibilities of rehabilitating this species in other areas of Bangladesh have also been discussed.

Albizia falcataria Fosberg is a fast-growing exotic tree species. It was introduced into Bangladesh as a shade tree in the tea gardens. Diameter-height, age-diameter, age-height relationships and the growth pattern of the species have been investigated. At the end of the 8th year the MAI has been found to average about 31.0 m3/ha The total merchantable wood yield, excluding the branch wood and brush wood (5 cm top dia), at the end of 8th year has been found to be 248 m3/ha. Data collected from the Bangladesh Forest Research Institute Campus at Chittagong showed that the MAI was about 33 m3/ha. The total calculated yield from the same site was 402m3/ha at the end of the 10th growing season. The preliminary growth curves indicate that the rotation-age would be more than 10 years.

Grasses such as Blue panic, Guinea grass, Green panic, Rhodes grass, Signal grass, three cultivars of Buffel grass, two cultivars of Setaria and Legumes like Centro, Greenleaf desmodium, Highworth dolichos, Rongai dolichos, Archer dolichos, Tinaroo glycine, Siratro, Cook stylo, Schofield stylo, Endeavour stylo, Townsville stylo, Verano stylo were grown at six Silvicultural Research centres of Bangladesh to study their herbage production. Among grasses Signal grass, Guinea grass, Green panic and the cultivars of Setaria produced higher amount of herbage in comparison to other grasses. Legumes like Schofield stylo, Cook stylo, Endeavour stylo, Townsville stylo and Verano stylo produced higher yields of herbage in comparison to other legumes. These promising fodder grasses and legumes have important bearings on multiple land use in agriculture as well as in forestry.
