East Sundarban

The eastern Sundarbans are part of the great mangrove forest formed by the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna delta on the Bay of Bengal. Tidal rivers wind between mudflats and wooded islands; the Baleswar marks the eastern edge of the Bangladeshi forest. Sundari trees dominate much of the moderately saline forest of Khulna and Bagerhat. Bengal tigers inhabit the mangroves alongside estuarine crocodiles and many kinds of fish.
