Abstract The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world, covering a total area of 10,200 km2 , of which 42% is in India and the remaining is in Bangladesh. It is located in the Gangetic Delta, the world’s largest wetland with the highest sedimentation. It is the only mangrove–tiger kingdom in the world and is internationally recognized as a ‘World Heritage Site’ of UNESCO and a Ramsar Site. The Sundarbans is a crucial biodiversity hotspot, offering unique habitats for terrestrial and marine wildlife, as it is located between land and sea. It is a ‘heaven’ for globally threatened species such as tigers, fishing cats, Gangetic dolphins, Irrawaddy dolphins, estuarine crocodiles, horseshoe crabs, water monitor lizards, sea turtles, otters and river terrapins. Several species have already become extinct in the Sundarbans, e.g. Javan rhinoceros, water buffalo, swamp deer, hog deer and marsh crocodile. Covering 42% of mangrove cover, the Sundarbans is the largest mangrove area in India, supporting 28 mangroves, 55 mangrove associates and 2628 fauna, and the organisms are remarkably adapted to rigorously fluctuating tidal conditions
