The home of Legendary Royal Bengal Tiger is located adjacent to the border region of India’s Sundarbans World Heritage site that was inscribed back in the year 1987. This site is bisected by a complex network of tidal waterways, Small islands, Mudflats, and Salt-tolerant Mangrove forests.

Though the name of Sundarbans comes from the name of the ‘Sundari tree’ (the tree of beauty), actually Sundarbans is so beautiful that it has been called the natural wonder of the world. Sundarbans Tiger is famous around the world as the ‘Royal Bengal Tiger’. Besides tigers, Sundarbans is known as home to a wide variety of wildlife species including birds, Chitra deer, saltwater crocodile, keto turtles, freshwater crocodiles, snakes, etc. The mangrove forest Sundarbans is located in the basins of three rivers—the Ganges, the Meghna, and the Brahmaputra of Bangladesh and covers three districts of Khulna, Satkhira, and Bagerhat of the country, and occupies a part of West Bengal of India. The Indian part of the forest is called the Sundarbans national park. There is no disagreement that Sundarbans is the biggest unbroken mangrove forest in the world. Of the 10,000 square kilometers area of ​​the Sundarbans, 6,017 sq km is in Bangladesh and therefore the rest is in India. The first thing that comes t...

World Heritage partnerships for conservation Ensuring that World Heritage sites sustain their outstanding universal value is an increasingly challenging mission in today’s complex world, where sites are vulnerable to the effects of uncontrolled urban development, unsustainable tourism practices, neglect, natural calamities, pollution, political instability, and conflict. Sundarbans National Park The Sundarbans covers 10,000 km 2 of land and water (more than half of it in India, the rest in Bangladesh) in the Ganges delta. It contains the world's largest area of mangrove forests. A number of rare or endangered species live in the park, including tigers, aquatic mammals, birds and reptiles. Description is available under license Parc national des Sundarbans Les Sundarbans couvrent 10 000 km 2 de terre et d'eau (dont plus de la moitié en Inde, le reste au Bangladesh) dans le delta du Gange. On y trouve la plus grande région de forêts de mangroves du monde. Plusieurs espèces rares ou menacées vivent dans le parc, dont des tigres, des mammifères aquatiques, des oiseaux et des reptiles.

The Sundarbans forest is about 10,000 sq km across India and Bangladesh, of which 40% lies in India, and is home to many rare and globally threatened wildlife species such as the estuarine crocodile (Crocodilus porosus), royal Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris), Water monitor lizard (Varanus salvator), Gangetic dolphin (Platinista gangetica), and olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea). The forest in India is divided into the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve and 24 Parganas (South) Forest Division, and together with the forest in Bangladesh is the only mangrove forest in the world where tigers are found. The Sundarbans delta in India has been a priority region for WWF-India since 1973 due to its unique biodiversity. While it supports a sizeable population of wild tigers and other wildlife, it is also an ecologically fragile and climatically vulnerable region that is home to over 4.5 million people. Securing the future of the Sundarbans, its biodiversity and people requires a long term vision that can integrate climate adaptation and conservation strategies along with shorter term interventions such as ensuring sustainable livelihoods, access to clean and sustainable energy and effective human wildlife conflict management. WWF-India’s vision for this landscape is to develop a climate resilient Sundarbans that supports biodiversity, ecosystems services and sustainable development.

“ Sitting there trying to keep alert in the still, hot air, I was aware of something nearby. I looked out on my camera angle of vision but that area was empty. I did not know why I felt like that and just to make sure, I gently lifted the netting to my left covering a small window. I saw a striped tail and the back legs of a tiger behind the tree no more than six feet away. I froze. It was perfectly feasible for it to jump straight on to the platform although my hide occupied most of the space. The tail was swishing and judging by the posture I guess that it was trying to work out where I was. I very slowly picked up the starting pistol and held it ready but eventually, I felt the tension go and with it the tiger, melting back into the forest." - Mike Herd Many would say that wildlife cameraman and writer Mike Herd is a rare lucky individual who managed to escape the vicious jaws of the "man-eating tigers of the Sundarbans" while filming these tigers in their home turf in Bangladesh. Yes, that is the title the world has generously granted to these swamp tigers, the only tiger population known to reside in the unforgiving environment of a mangrove forest. Through decades, innumerable documentaries, films, books, and articles have been dedicated to portraying the Sundarbans tigers as "man-eaters." But are they truly deserving of this title? Do these tigers actively hunt humans as prey? In this article, we try to answer these questions and explore the lives and true nature of...
