You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

It is situated in [[Noakhali District]] in Bangladesh. Once it was called '''Char Osmani, Baluar Char, Golden Island''' <ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ontaheen.com/nijhum-dwip-national-park-bangladesh/ |title=Nijhum Dwip National Park Bangladesh |publisher=ontaheen |year=2016 |access-date=26 June 2016 |first=Abdul |last=Aouwal))</ref>

A cluster of islands (mainly, Ballar Char, Kamlar Char, Char Osman and Char Muri) emerged in the early 1950s as an alluvium in the shallow estuary of the Bay of Bengal on the south of Noakhali. These new sandbanks first drew the notice of a group of fishermen, who named it Baular Char (literally, the alluvium of sand) later transformed into Ballar Char. Occupying an area of ((convert|14,050|acres|0|abbr=off)), the island is situated between 21 0 1 / to 22 0 6 /North latitude and 90 0 3 / to 91 0 4 / East longitude

Migratory Birds in Nijhum Dwip:
During winter, thousands of migratory birds flock in to island. The fishermen use the airy and sunny land as an ideal place for drying their catches from the sea. Sometimes many of them also construct straw huts on the island as seasonal residences.

In 1974 the Forest Department took an afforestation program for a duration of twenty years in the north side of the island. Covering an area of nine thousand acres, it has now developed into a deep forest with a variety of plant species. Among the trees [[Pandanus|Keora]] is much seen. Besides this Gewa, Kankra, Bain, Babul, Karamja, Pashur and many other species are seen.

On 8 April 2001 the government declared the ((convert|40,390|acres|0|abbr=on)) of forest of Jahajmara range including ((convert|9,550|acres|0|abbr=on)) of forest land on Nijhum Dwip as a National Park for the protection and development of the biodiversity of the forest. But in practice, there a very lazy appearance of that declaration.

It was named 'Nijhum Dwip' by former Minister Amirul Islam Kalam in 1975 observing its isolation and mild nature.

==Population==
[[File:Nijhum Dwip (09).jpg|thumb|Life at Nijhum Dwip.|left]]The population in Nijhum Dwip in 2016 was 25,000+. Their main occupations are cultivation, fishing and livestock farming. The island produces vegetables. But the island suffers from natural calamities, and life is hard and risky.

==Current status==
Nijhum Dwip presently has six big bazaars that mainly consist of grocery shops, small restaurants and drug stores. These bazaars are the only places in the islands to have electricity from generators. More than eight (8) thousand inhabitants found their permanent settlement in the island and their occupations are mainly cultivation and fishing. There are some NGO's and other organisations like Proshika, Human Development Centre and JAICA who are involved with their development projects on this island.

== Accommodation ==
While in Nijhum Dwip one can stay at any of several hotels. Some of them have electricity supplied by generators. Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation also has a hotel there which is the earliest of all.

==Flora and fauna==
[[File:Buffalo Herd in Nijhum Dwip.jpg|thumb|Domestic Buffalo Herd at Nijhum Dwip]]The forest department of the government of Bangladesh created [[mangrove]] forests in Nijhum Dwip and the main attraction in these forests is the herd of about 5000 [[chital]] or spotted deer. The most common type of planted tree species in the island is [[Pandanus|Keora]], also known as Kerfa, which has fast growing roots holding the sandy land.<ref>((cite news |last1=Rahman |first1=Mizanur |date=10 April 2010 |title=Offshore Nijhum island: Overcoming climate change impact |url=http://archive.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=133670 |newspaper=The Daily Star |access-date=14 June 2015))</ref> The plant also supplies pillars for houses, materials for making boats and agricultural implements, and fuel for domestic use. In 2001, the government of Bangladesh declared the forest area as  [[Nijhum Dwip National Park]] in the year 2001.<ref name=DhakaHolidays>((cite book|author=John Kamol Halder|chapter=Nijhum Island|url=http://www.dhakaholidays.com/tour-operator-bangladesh-islands/nijhum-island.html|title=DhakaHolidays: Leading Tour Operator in Bangladesh))</ref> Now this island has been declared as the unique eco-touristic spot for its ideal natural setup with the rich bio-diversification factors and the perennial mangrove forest with wild animals like [[spotted deer]], [[wild boar]], [[fishing cat]] and [[rhesus macaque]] and for the ideal habitat for fish resources. 

The waters nearby was declared as the Nijhum Dwip Marine Protected Area in 2019.<ref>[[Wildlife Conservation Society]], 2019, ''[https://newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releases/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/12535/King-of-Fish-Endangered-Dolphins-Sharks-Turtles-Protected-in-Sweeping-New-Marine-Protected-Area.aspx "King of Fish," Endangered Dolphins, Sharks, Turtles Protected in Sweeping New Marine Protected Area]''</ref> Since south coast is open to the mouth of a great span of Bay of Bengal, [[whale]]s were sometimes seen though very rare nowadays.[[File:নিঝুমের দ্বীপে চৌধুরী খালে যাবার পথে.jpg|thumb|On the way to 'Chowdhury Khal', Nijhum Dwip|left]]
