🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Sundarbans Mangroves are one of the largest mangrove forests in the world (140,000 hectares) and are located on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers in the Bay of Bengal. It is adjacent to the Indian Sundarbans Frontier, inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1987. Intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and islets of salt-tolerant mangroves, the site is an excellent example of continuous ecological processes. The area is known for its wide variety of fauna, including 260 bird species, Bengal tigers and other endangered species such as estuarine crocodiles and Indian pythons.
