According to Sarkar’s research, the Bangladesh Sundarban, where the “top-dying sickness” is causing havoc, are not protected from the Sundari. The damaged trees lose their tops and develop “heart-rot,” or swelling and many knots, on their stems. According to a 2018 article in the Dhaka Tribune, during the 1980s, “top-dying sickness” destroyed 15% of Sundari trees. We will discuss more how the delta of the Sundarban in danger.
Sundarban Tourism
Experts claim that microbial-fungal infections and insect pests have also been brought on by rising temperatures and increased salinity. Heat records have been breaking every year since 2015, making the last five years the warmest on record. Through the study of remote sensing data, researcher Katie Louise Awty-Carroll and her team from the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University in the UK have shown that there is a 25% downward trend in mangrove cover as a result of die-back on Sundari trees. We will discuss more how the delta of the sundarban jungle trip in danger.
Future deterioration in these places is now more likely, especially if extreme occurrences like cyclones become more frequent.
Sundarban Ecological Conditions:
Forest guard Amin Chand Mondal (also in the video interview) recalls the 1970s and 1980s when logging permission was granted in several forest blocks for the Sundari as he navigates one of the numerous tiny streams in the mangrove near Bonnie camp (21°49’50″N, 88°37’24″E).
