The Mystifying Mangroves

Sundarbans (pronounced /sʌnˈdɑːrbənz/) is a mangrove area in the delta formed by the confluence of the Padma, Brahmaputra and Meghna Rivers in the Bay of Bengal. It spans the area from the Baleswar River in Bangladesh’s division of Khulna to the Hooghly River in India’s state of West Bengal. It comprises closed and open mangrove forests, land used for agricultural purpose, mudflats and barren land, and is intersected by multiple tidal streams and channels. Sundarbans is home to the world’s largest area of mangrove forests. Four protected areas in the Sundarbans are enlisted as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, viz. Sundarbans West (Bangladesh), Sundarbans South (Bangladesh), Sundarbans East (Bangladesh) and Sundarbans National Park (India). Sundarbans is the last mangrove habitat on earth with bagh or the Royal Bengal tiger. Tigers have been roaming its surface since much before human settlement. This place is not only a composition of mangrove and tidal mudflats, twisting rivers and creeks, but is also a mystifying panorama of millions of trees creating a dense, green canopy. Spread over 10,000 sq km including Bangladesh and West Bengal of India (Das et al. 2012), the habitat is more than a woody endeavour as it represents the emotions of the citizens of both the nations. It is an estuarine phase of the Ganges as well as the Brahmaputra river system forming the largest delta in the world. The littoral forest tree species of these cluster of islands adapted to the peculiar estuarine condition of high salinity, lack of soil erosion and daily inundation of high tides. The forms of life on planet earth are interconnected and in the Sundarbans ecosystem, life is continuously adjusting to new environmental conditions. Therefore, daily struggle for survival goes on between nature and each individual living here. There are many hidden gems in Sundarban, in terms of wildlife, sanctuary, watch tower and many more. Besides, the place has an idyllic charm to take you away from your nagging worries and stress to tranquillity and refreshment, chaos to cadence, a life full of monotones to the riots of colours.
