The 'Beautiful Forest'
by Alivia Chaudhuri
Climate change is reshaping our world. Sundarbans or literally “The Beautiful Forest” is extremely vulnerable to that.
About 40% of the 10,300 km² Sundarbans delta lies in West Bengal, and rest 60% is in Bangladesh.
There are 135 islands in the delta, out of which 35 are inhabited.
This website deals with the ecological changes of Indian part of Sundarbans (as shown in the map).
