The Sundarbans, spanning India and Bangladesh, is the world's largest contiguous mangrove forest, named after the abundant Sundari tree. It lies where the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers meet the Bay of Bengal. This unique ecosystem includes four UNESCO World Heritage protected areas and serves as a crucial breeding ground for 90% of the region's aquatic species. Climate change poses significant risks to its survival and the human communities depending on it.
