The Sundarbans, located in the southwestern part of Bangladesh, is the largest contiguous '''mangrove forest in the world.''' Spanning about 6,000 square kilometers, this unique forest lies on the delta where the '''Ganges, Brahmaputra,''' and Meghna rivers meet the Bay of Bengal. The Sundarbans consists of roughly 200 islands separated by a network of tidal rivers and creeks. The forest is home to diverse flora and fauna and plays a vital role in local economies through timber, fishing, and honey production. Due to its ecological importance and rich biodiversity, the Sundarbans has been designated as a '''UNESCO''' World Heritage Site and enjoys protection through established wildlife sanctuaries. Despite its vast size, the forest's original area has diminished over the centuries, but it remains a symbol of natural heritage and environmental significance.
