[post_content] => {:en}Lawachhara National Park (Bengali: লাউয়াছড়া) is a major national park and nature reserve in Bangladesh. The park is located at Kamalganj Upazila, Moulvibazar District in the northeastern region of the country. It is located within the 2,740 ha (27.4 km2) West Bhanugach Reserved Forest. Lawachhara was one of the filming sites of the 1956 movie Around the World in 80 Days.
Lawachhara National Park covers approximately 1,250 ha (12.5 km2) of semi-evergreen forests of the Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests Biome and mixed deciduous forests of the Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests Biome. The land was declared a national park by the Bangladesh government on July 7, 1996 under the Wildlife Act of 1974.
The terrain of Lawachhara is undulating with scattered 10 to 50 m (33 to 164 ft.) hillocks. Locally known as tila, the hillocks are primarily composed of Upper Tertiary soft sandstone. The park is crossed by numerous sandy-bedded streams (locally known as nallah), one of which is the Lawachhara tributary, from which the park derived its name. The soil of Lawachhara is alluvial brown sandy clay loam to clay loam dating from the Pliocene epoch. Shallow depressions filled with water (Haor wetlands) are also a feature of the region as the low-lying areas are often subject to flooding.
The climate of Lawachhara is generally pleasant to warm, averaging at 26.8 °C (80.2 °F) in February to 36.1 °C (97.0 °F) in June. The humidity is high throughout the year, and Lawachhara experiences frequent rains with occasional cyclonic storms.{:}{:bn}লাউয়াছড়া জাতীয় উদ্যান বাংলাদেশের অন্যতম প্রধান জাতীয় উদ্যান। এই উদ্যানটি উত্তরপূর্ব বাংলাদেশের মৌলভীবাজার জেলার কমলগঞ্জ উপজেলায় অবস্থিত। শ্রীমঙ্গল থেকে এই স্থানটির দূরত্ব ৯.৪ কিলোমিটার। ঘন সবুজ জঙ্গলে পরিপূর্ণ ১২.৫ কিলোমিটার আয়তনের লাউয়াছড়া জাতীয় উদ্যানটি পশ্চিম ভানুগাছ রিজার্ভ ফরেস্টের অন্তর্ভুক্ত। বাংলাদেশের সর্ববৃহৎ এই রেইন ফরেস্টে রয়েছে প্রায় ৪৬০ প্রজাতির জীব বৈচিত্র্য যেসবের মধ্যে রয়েছে ১৬৭ প্রজাতির গাছ, ৪ প্রজাতির উভচর প্রাণী, ৬ প্রজাতির সরীসৃপ প্রাণী, ২০ প্রজাতির স্তন্যপায়ী প্রাণী এবং ২৪৬ প্রজাতির পাখি। ১৯৭৪ সালের বন্যপ্রাণী আইনের অধীনে বাংলাদেশ সরকার ১৯৯৬ সালের ৭ই জুলাই এই উদ্যানটিকে জাতীয় উদ্যান হিসেবে ঘোষণা করে।{:}
