| [15] The legal status of the forests underwent a series of changes, including the distinction of being the first mangrove forest in the world to be brought under scientific management. | WIKI |
| The management was entirely designed to extract whatever treasures were available, but labour and lower management mostly were staffed by locals, as the British had no expertise or adaptation experience in mangrove forests. | WIKI |
| In 1875 a large portion of the mangrove forests was declared as reserved forests under the Forest Act, 1865 (Act VIII of 1865). | WIKI |
| The seasonally flooded Sundarbans freshwater swamp forests lie inland from the mangrove forests on the coastal fringe. | WIKI |

| The mangrove-dominated Ganges Delta xe2x80x93 the Sundarbans xe2x80x93 is a complex ecosystem comprising one of the three largest single tracts of mangrove forests of the world. | WIKI |
| The mangrove vegetation itself assists in the formation of new landmass and the intertidal vegetation plays a significant role in swamp morphology. | WIKI |
| The activities of mangrove fauna in the intertidal mudflats develop micromorphological features that trap and hold sediments to create a substratum for mangrove seeds. | WIKI |

| The Sundarbans Mangroves ecoregion on the coast forms the seaward fringe of the delta and is the world's largest mangrove ecosystem, with 20,400 square kilometres (7,900xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi) of an area covered. | WIKI |
| The dominant mangrove species Heritiera fomes is locally known as sundri or sundari. | WIKI |

| They have a thick canopy, and the undergrowth is mostly seedlings of the mangrove trees. | WIKI |
| [24] Twenty-six of the fifty broad mangrove species found in the world grow well in the Sundarbans. | WIKI |
| The commonly identifiable vegetation types in the dense Sundarbans mangrove forests are salt water mixed forest, mangrove scrub, brackish water mixed forest, littoral forest, wet forest and wet alluvial grass forests. | WIKI |
| The Bangladesh mangrove vegetation of the Sundarbans differs greatly from other non-deltaic coastal mangrove forests and upland forests associations. | WIKI |
| The varieties of the forests that exist in Sundarbans include mangrove scrub, littoral forest, saltwater mixed forest, brackish water mixed forest and swamp forest. | WIKI |
| Since Prain's report there have been considerable changes in the status of various mangrove species and taxonomic revision of the man-grove flora. | WIKI |
| Although the fauna of Bangladesh have diminished in recent times[17] and the Sundarbans has not been spared from this decline, the mangrove forest retains several good wildlife habitats and their associated fauna. | WIKI |
| This is the only mangrove ecoregion that harbors the Indo-Pacific region's largest terrestrial predator, the Bengal tiger. | WIKI |
| Unlike in other habitats, tigers live here and swim among the mangrove islands, where they hunt scarce prey such as the chital deer (Axis axis), Indian muntjacs (Muntiacus muntjak), wild boar (Sus scrofa), and Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). | WIKI |

| [42][43] Despite a total ban on all killing or capture of wildlife other than fish and some invertebrates, it appears that there is a consistent pattern of depleted biodiversity or loss of species (notably at least six mammals and one important reptile) in the 20th century, and that the "ecological quality of the original mangrove forest is declining". | WIKI |
| Erosion and accretion through these forces maintains varying levels, as yet not properly measured, of physiographic change whilst the mangrove vegetation itself provides a remarkable stability to the entire system. | WIKI |
| In many of the Bangladesh's mangrove wetlands, freshwater reaching the mangroves was considerably reduced from the 1970s because of diversion of freshwater in the upstream area by neighbouring India through the use of the Farakka Barrage bordering Rajshahi, Bangladesh. | WIKI |
| Loss of the mangrove forest will result in the loss of the protective biological shield against cyclones and tsunamis. | WIKI |
| [56][57] The government of Bangladesh rejected the allegations that the coal-based power plant would adversely affect the world's largest mangrove forest. | WIKI |
| [65] The event occurred at a protected Sundarbans mangrove area, home to rare Irrawaddy and Ganges dolphins. | WIKI |
| [citation needed] As a result, half of this ecoregion's mangrove forests have been cut down to supply fuelwood and other natural resources. | WIKI |

| Bestowed with magnificent scenic beauty and natural resources, it is internationally recognized for its high biodiversity of mangrove flora and fauna both on land and water. | UNESCO |
| The immense tidal mangrove forests of Bangladeshsxe2x80x99 Sundarbans Forest Reserve, is in reality a mosaic of islands of different shapes and sizes, perennially washed by brackish water shrilling in and around the endless and mind-boggling labyrinths of water channels. | UNESCO |
| It is the only mangrove habitat in the world for Panthera tigris tigris species. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (ix): The Sundarbans provides a significant example of on-going ecological processes as it represents the process of delta formation and the subsequent colonization of the newly formed deltaic islands and associated mangrove communities. | UNESCO |
| The site includes the entire landscape of mangrove habitats with an adequate surrounding area of aquatic (both marine and freshwater) and terrestrial habitats, and thus all the areas essential for the long term conservation of the Sundarbans and its rich and distinct biodiversity | UNESCO |
| The boundaries of the property protect all major mangrove vegetation types, areas of high floral and faunal values and important bird areas. | UNESCO |
