Ecologically Critical Area

Ecologically Critical Area (ECA) is an environmental protection zone in Bangladesh.

Gulshan-Baridhara Lake was declared an ECA in 2001.[1] In September 2009, the four rivers around the capital city Dhaka - Buriganga River, Shitalakshya River, Turag River and Balu River -- have been declared by the Department of Environment as ECAs.[2]
