Sundarban and environmental threats

Sundarban contains 40% of the forest of Bangladesh. It is one of the most important resources of Bangladesh. However, due to population increase, deforestation, pollution, storms and floods, the mangrove eco system is facing major problems.

 

Due to fishing in the breeding season, under-size fishing and building dams and embankments the aquatic population has decreased a lot. Most of the fishermen are illiterate and do not receive any training about sustainable fishery.

Dense population is another major problem. Because of inaccessibility, the people living in these areas do not receive any education about family planning. As a result, the number of people is growing and to provide space for these people forest is being destroyed.

Because of illegal poaching, tigers of the Sundarbans are decreasing day by day. Not only tigers, deer species are also killed and sold for meat.

Various natural calamities like cyclone, and flood destroys trees and creatures every year.

Different kinds of pollution in the near by city areas the mangrove forest is also getting effected.
