| The Sundarbans | |
|---|---|
The Sundarbans is one of the largest mangrove forests in the world, covering some 1,400 km². It is located in the Bay of Bengal on the deltas on the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna Rivers and adjacent to the Sundarbans forest across the border in India. The forest is shaped by monsoons, flooding, delta formation and tides and interspersed amongst its waterways are mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests. It supports many animal species, including some 260 bird species and one of the world's largest populations of Bengal tigers, with about 350 individuals present.
