The Sunderbans is a vast mangrove forest located in the delta region of the Bay of Bengal, known for its rich biodiversity and unique habitat. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to various endangered species such as the Royal Bengal tiger and the estuarine crocodile.

The Sunderbans play a crucial role in the conservation of wildlife and the environment due to its unique ecosystem and the presence of endangered species. The mangrove forests act as a natural barrier against coastal erosion and protect the surrounding areas from natural disasters such as cyclones and tsunamis. Additionally, the diverse flora and fauna found in the Sunderbans contribute to the overall biodiversity of the region and provide valuable resources for local communities. Conservation efforts in this area are essential to preserving this important ecosystem for future generations.

Tigers in the Sunderbans have been observed drinking sweet water from ponds and rivers, a behaviour that is believed to be linked to their need for freshwater sources in their saline environment. This unique adaptation showcases the incredible resilience of these apex predators in adapting to their surroundings. And Who made the Ponds in the Core area of the forest? How saline water intrusion is prevented even if you created a pond to store rainwater saline water can intrude through the ground layers. These are the questions I want to discuss today.
