Rising Tides, Roaring Futures: The Sundarbans' Quest for Survival

Situated at the deltaic confluence of three great Asian rivers—the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna—the Sundarbans is a testament to nature’s resilience and complexity. Spanning approximately 10,000 square kilometers (about half the area of New Jersey), this labyrinthine network of tidal waterways, mudflats, and small islands is predominantly situated in Bangladesh, with a smaller portion extending into India. The topographic and ecological uniqueness of this area earned it the designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attesting to its global environmental significance and the imperative for its conservation.
