Etymology
The name Sundarban can be literally translated as "beautiful forest" in the Bengali language (Shundor, "beautiful" and bon, "forest"). The name may have been derived from the Sundari trees that are found in Sundarbans in large numbers. Alternatively, it has been proposed that the name is a corruption of Samudraban (Bengali: সমুদ্রবন Shomudrobôn "Sea Forest") or Chandra-bandhe (name of a primitive tribe). But the generally accepted view is the one associated with Sundari trees.[1] The Shundorbon is the first Mangrove Forest in the world ! So it is in Bangladesh and we are proud of us. Shundorbon has so many animal inside it, Royal Bengal Tiger is one of them. But day by day this tiger is killing human and humans also killing tigers which is not fair at any cost. we shuld protect it by our all power. Shundorbon is named copied from the tree shundori, so we called it shundorbon !
