Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve
The Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve, located in India and Bangladesh, is one of the world's largest mangrove forest areas. It is home to diverse wildlife, including the famous Royal Bengal tiger, saltwater crocodiles, and various bird species. This unique ecosystem protects coastlines from erosion, supports local communities, and contributes to maintaining ecological balance. The reserve's lush mangroves also serve as nurseries for fish and other marine life, making it vital for biodiversity and livelihood. As a UNESCO designated site, the Sundarbans effectively blend conservation with sustainable use of natural resources.
