Extract

The Sundarbans is commonly known as the delta area which lies between West Bengal in India and Bangladesh, and it is not only famous for the deltas, which are there, but also for the largest mangrove forest in the world. Indeed, the word “Sundarbans” comes from the Sundar tree for conservation. It is a very interesting area in terms of biodiversity but also a very important carbon sink. I found out the other day that mangroves are, for instance, a much better sink than even rainforests.
