Sundarbans, a mangrove forest in Bangladesh
The Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world, is one of nature’s most spectacular wonders. Spanning over 10,000 square kilometers, this vast delta lies at the intersection of land and sea, where the mighty Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers converge before flowing into the Bay of Bengal. Approximately 60% of the forest lies in Bangladesh, with the rest in the Indian state of West Bengal. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sundarbans is not just a biological treasure trove but also a vital lifeline for millions of people. It is a place where biodiversity, culture, and human resilience intersect in powerful and often precarious ways.
