The Sundarbans contain close to 4,000 miles of water and land in the Ganges Delta. They're home to the largest area of mangrove forests in the world.

Deforestation, pollution, and a strong dependence on fossil fuels are causing sea levels to rise rapidly in the area, which has led to the erosion of precious coastline.
