The Sundarbans is one of the most important tropical forests in Asia. Right at the coastline of India and Bangladesh, its mangrove trees can serve as important buffers between those countries and the surge of cyclones that routinely pass through the Indian Ocean.
It also happens to be home to a lot of species, but most famously the bengal tiger. The bengal population has been concerningly low over the past few years, so protecting this area carries a lot of importance for both human and wildlife communities.
