The Sundarban Forest: Longest Sea Beach of the World
The Sundarbans Forest is the largest collection of tidal halophytic mangroves in the world. The Sundarbans Forest encompasses 10,000 sq km with 60% of it in Bangladesh and the remaining forest in West Bengal, India.

The Sundarbans Forest is home to the Royal Bengal Tiger. The Sundarbans provide a unique ecosystem and series of habitats for a wide variety of wildlife. In addition to the tiger, 42 species of mammals, 35 reptiles and amphibians, 270 species of birds, and over 120 species of fish. Many of these are endangered.
A single natural gift may easily change the destiny of Bangladesh. This is the Sundarbans. For an international vacationer, a trip to Bangladesh can never be complete without seeing the majestic Sundarbans. Being one of the most beautiful and pristine lands of beauty and charm, the Sundarbans offers everything that a travel destination can provide. Some of its special features are its evergreen flora, rare fauna, buzzing cruise, entertaining cultural life and unique local cuisine. With the lowest airfare in Asia, it is now very easy for international travellers to reach the spot via Dhaka and Chittagong.

The Sundarbans is competing with many new natural wonders round the world. The title of natural wonder is urgent for branding Bangladesh.

The web address to vote for it is: www.new7wonders.com. An e-mail address will be needed to vote. More and more votes and publicity in its favour are needed for it to keep the top position until the next one year.

The authorities concerned and various agencies should take the following measures:

- Raising nationwide awareness.
- Involving the Indian authorities through govt. channels.

- Ensuring the constant support of the media and mobile companies.
- Declaring awards for voting agents.
- International lobbying.
- Forming a national council with assigned responsibilities.

Why should we vote for the Sundarbans? Many Bangladeshis may raise this question. The answer is: the coming days

    A fragile environment is one which is easy to disrupt, and once disrupted, difficult to restore. An example of this kind of environment is the Sundarbans; the largest single block of mangrove swamp in the world, covering 10,000 km² from the coasts of West Bengal to Bangladesh. The mangrove swamps are sensitive to a number of factors, including temperature, salinity and sea level, where small changes may be able to cause huge impacts on the overall health and effectiveness of the swamps to protect the coastline and the 300,000 livelihoods that depend on it.…

    The majority of mangrove forests are found within 30 degrees of the equator in both the northern and southern hemispheres and appear on every continent except for Europe and Antarctica. This means that they are located mostly in tropic climates though some have been recorded in more temperate regions (Warne, 2007). Climate has a large effect on the growth of mangroves because it determines the amount of available radiation and warmer temperatures. Precipitation in the richer mangrove forest is usually greater than 1250 mm (49.2 inches) per year (“Mangrove ecology,” 2010).…

    The Sundarbans (Bengali সুন্দরবন, Shundorbôn) is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world. The name Sundarban can be literally translated as "beautiful jungle" or "beautiful forest" in the Bengali language (Sundar, "beautiful" and ban, "forest" or "jungle"). 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.…
