Sundarbans National Park Bangladesh
The Sundarbans 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. It is listed in the world heritage site in the UNESCO as the Bangladeshi and Indian portions of the jungle, 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 500 Bengal tigers and about 30,000 spotted deer in
the area.
