The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world where about 300 species of trees and herbs and about 425 species of wildlife including the Royal Bengal Tiger exist. The Sundarbans, also a World Heritage Site, covers about 4.2 per cent of the total Bangladesh where forests cover only 10.2 per cent of the land area. Out of a total area of 0.6 million hectares of the Sundarbans, 0.4 million hectares are forest areas, and the remaining part comprises water bodies mostly flowing through to the sea at the south. This mangrove forest generally bears the salt-tolerant forest ecosystem except some, amongst which are about 856.7 million Sundari (Heritiera fomes) trees and other species in the main land are less salt-tolerant. These trees are now on the verge of extinction primarily due to suffering from top-dying disease caused mainly due to increasing salinity in surrounding waters.
