The Sundarbans
The Sundarbans is a vast mangrove forest located in the delta region of Padma, Meghna, and Brahmaputra river basins. It spans the southern part of Bangladesh and the eastern part of India, covering an area of approximately 10,000 square kilometers (3,900 square miles). The Sundarbans is renowned for its unique ecosystem and is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including the iconic Royal Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris).
The Sundarbans mangrove forest is the largest remaining habitat of the Bengal tiger. The tigers in this region are adapted to the mangrove environment and are excellent swimmers. They are skilled hunters and primarily prey on various species found in the Sundarbans, such as deer, wild boar, and fish.
Conservation efforts are in place to protect the Sundarbans and its diverse wildlife, including the endangered Bengal tiger. However, the population of these tigers is under constant threat due to factors such as habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and climate change. Conservation organizations and governments of both India and Bangladesh are working together to preserve this unique and ecologically vital habitat and the majestic Sundarbans tigers.
