孟加拉国孙德尔本斯红树林保护与开发

The Bangladeshi Sundarbans, situated in the delta formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna Rivers in the Bay of Bengal, is the largest mangrove forest in the world. An UNESCO World Heritage crisscrossed by a labyrinthine network of rivers and channels, creating a serene and intricate waterway system. Navigating these quiet channels reveals the enchanting beauty of this unique ecosystem. The stillness of the waters, often reflecting the dense mangrove foliage, offers a tranquil experience, interrupted only by the occasional splash of wildlife.

Fishermen and local boats glide silently, maintaining the harmony of the surroundings. These waterways are lifelines for the diverse flora and fauna, including the elusive Bengal tiger, spotted deer, wild boars, rhesus macaques, egrets, kingfishers, estuarine crocodiles, Indian python and a myriad of fish species.

The Sundarbans also support a rich marine life, including dolphins and olive ridley turtles. This biodiversity hotspot is crucial for conservation efforts, providing a sanctuary for many endangered species while supporting the livelihoods of local communities.
