Ganges River Delta

The Ganges River Delta, also known as the Sundarbans, is a vast, fertile area where the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers meet the Bay of Bengal. It covers parts of India and Bangladesh and is one of the world's largest and most productive wetlands. The delta's richness supports diverse wildlife, including Bengal tigers and numerous bird species, and sustains millions of people through agriculture, fishing, and transportation. Its complex network of rivers, small islands, and marshes makes it a dynamic and vital ecological zone, but it is also vulnerable to flooding, rising sea levels, and climate change.
