Sundarban History

The Sundarban Mangrove forest is big the forest of Bangladesh. It covers an area of approximately 5900 sq. km. The name may have been derived from the Sundari trees that are found in Sundarbans in large numbers. It provides valuable economic resources including timber and wood, firewood and raw materials for such industries as matches, pencils and large newsprint manufacture. Honey and wax are in plenty and skins of pythons and reptiles are sought after. The forest is the abode of the Royal Bengal Tiger. The paper describes the nature and species composition of the forest, its physical and climatic aspects, economic and ecological importance to the people of Bangladesh. A suggestion is also made for multidisciplinary research on mangrove ecosystems so that exploitation and management of these valuable resources can be carried out on a sound scientific and sustained yield basis. The area is known for the eponymous Royal Bengal Tiger, as well as numerous fauna including species of birds, spotted deer, crocodiles and snakes. Additionally, the Sundarbans serves a crucial function as a protective barrier for the millions of inhabitants in and around Khulna and Mongla against the floods that result from the cyclones. Can be tell in a word Sundarban is a so helpful for us, and it is so beautiful.
