Sundarbans
The Sundarbans
delta is the largest
mangrove forest in the world. It lies at the mouth of the
Ganges and is spread across areas of
Bangladesh and
West Bengal,
India, forming the seaward fringe of the delta. Interestingly, the Bangladeshi and Indian portions of the jungle are listed in the
UNESCO world heritage list separately as the Sundarbans and
Sundarbans National Park respectively, though they are simply parts of the same forest. The Sundarbans is intersected by a complex network of
tidal waterways,
mudflats and small
islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests, and presents an excellent example of ongoing
ecological processes. The area is known for its wide range of fauna. The most famous among these are the maneating
Royal Bengal Tigers, but numerous species of
birds, spotted
deer,
crocodiles and
snakes also inhabit it. It is estimated that there are now 400 Bengal tigers and about 30,000 spotted deer in the area.
