Sundarban an Ideal Place to all of us

KOLKATA, India - March 24, 2025 - PRLog -- Sundarban is formed by the confluence of three big rivers the Ganga, the Brahmaputra, and Meghnarivers. It is one of the famous delta in West Bengal, India, which has 10,000 sq. km of land. As these rivers are directly connected with the Bay of Bengal the riverside lands are suitable for mangrove trees. Drinking water is more salty than the normal water. Hence, mangrove trees can be grown smoothly. Now, the mangrove forest in Sundarban is the largest mangrove forest in Asia.

Livelihood in Sundarbans

The major income source in Sundarban is a collection of fish, crabs, wood, honey, and other forest products that are made naturally. Although, many people have made themselves highly educated and doing their jobs in both the government and private sector also most people depend on forests and rivers for their livelihood. Many of them do cultivation. All people in Sundarbans believe themselves "Maa Bana Bibi" have been protecting from the most dangerous wild animals. So, they start their day by keeping the name of "Maa Bana Bibi" in mind.

Role of Mangrove Forest in Sundarbans

It is seen that, most of the time cyclone made landfall in Sundarban which had the origin in the Bay of Bengal. However, mangrove forests reduced the destruction as expected.  So, all the things can be restored in a short period.  For example, in 2007 Cyclone Sidr damaged 40% of Sundarban, and in 2009 Cyclone Aila damaged 60% of Sundarban but the nature queen Sundarban got back its nature within 5 to 6 months. Similarly, on  26 April 2019, Cyclone Fani damaged lots of valuable properties.

Water is the major transportation medium.
