The Sunderbans is situated at the mouth of the Bay of Bengal, in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta, the largest in the world. |
The increase in the region's population has led to the exploitation of the Sunderbans. Most people in the region are poor and depend on the forest for livelihood and, more specifically, their firewood needs. The blame does not lie with the poor local residents alone. There is a major racket being run in the Sunderbans by timber merchants, who bribe forest officers and workers and get a free hand in collecting as much timber as they wish. |
The Sundari tree, a variety of mangrove from which the Sunderbans got its name, is fast vanishing from the region as it has become one of the prime targets of the timber merchants. |

In the process, apart from destroying mangrove seedlings and eliminating the possibility of a regeneration of mangroves along the river banks, at least 74 species of fish are also destroyed. |
