Question

give detailed information about wildlife in Indian mangroves

Answer 1

The most amazing of the Indian mangroves are the Sundarbans, which is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world, covering approximately 10,000 square kilometres, most of which is in Bangladesh, with the remainder in India. The Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has a National Park, Tiger Reserve which is the home of the Royal Bengal Tiger, and a Biosphere Reserve, and has been enlisted among the finalists in the New Seven Wonders of Nature. They have the distinction of being the first mangrove forest in the world to be brought under scientific management. Orissa,another Indian state, is often referred to as a biological paradise, as its Bhitarkanika mangrove wetlands is the breeding ground for the Olive Ridley Turtles, one of the few of its kind in the world. Today, there are 38 areas of mangrove forests in India, under implementation of management action plan, with total financial assistance from the Government of India.
