The Sundarbans is the world's largest mangrove forest. Designated as a United Nations World Heritage site in both India and Bangladesh, it covers nearly 4,000 square miles (10,000 square kilometers). The forest provides habitat for the Bengal tiger, as well as numerous other rare and endangered species of birds, reptiles, and aquatic mammals.

Mangroves assume a fundamental job in waterfront biological communities and natural ways of life, by supporting networks of fish and shellfish. Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees and bushes that assistance shield beach front regions from progressively extreme typhoons, waves, and disintegration. By filling in as a flood obstruction, they can lessen the harm brought about by tempests, for example, twisters. Harm and disintegration to Mangroves leave the coast progressively uncovered and in this way increasingly powerless against tempests. In excess of a fourth of a million people—60 percent of them in Bangladesh—passed on in tropical violent winds over the most recent two many years of the twentieth century.  

Thickly populated beach front territories like the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta are the most powerless against destructive tempests. Researchers verified that unblemished and solid mangroves in the Indian province of Orissa spared numerous lives in a 1999 tornado beginning from the Bay of Bengal. Another investigation found that the 2004 Indian Ocean tidal wave caused essentially less harm in regions of southeastern India ensured by mangroves and different timberlands, and reproductions demonstrate that a thick belt of mangroves can drastically lessen the pinnacle weight of a wave.
