Sundarbans is the world's largest mangrove wetland located in southwestern Bangladesh on the border with the Indian state of West Bengal, rather than a single city. It straddles the Ganges Delta and covers a total area of about 10,000 square kilometers, of which about 60% belongs to Bangladesh. Sudarban, which means "beautiful forest" in Bengali, was declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1987.
Sudarbans is known for its unique ecosystem with a dense network of mangrove forests, tidal channels and mudflats. It is an important habitat for the Bengal tiger, an endangered species, and is also home to mergansers, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birds and fish. Mangrove forests act as natural barriers, effectively mitigating coastal damage from tropical cyclones.
The local population lives mainly from fishing, honey gathering and agriculture, but life is challenged by climate change, sea level rise and wildlife conflicts. Sudaban is a hotspot for eco-tourism, attracting visitors to explore its natural wonders while promoting awareness of environmental protection.
