  • Abstract:
  • The delta formed by Ganga and the Brahmaputra is the largest of the world. A vast and dense mangrove forest has grown up on this delta. This is the Sunderbans – famous for its Sundari trees, its unique ecosystem and the Royal Bengal Tiger. Once, it was almost impossible to penetrate, but now a large part of the forest has been cleared away as the pressure of population has increased on the land. The local people as well as the government is looking for alternate sources of income and development. Ecotourism has now gradually becoming popular. Infrastructural facilities have increased, improving the connectivity of the land. The number of nature loving and adventurous tourists have also grown. As a result, it has been possible to nurture ecotourism in the area. But it needs to be remembered that Sunderbans is already ecologically fragile. The process of development should have several checks and balances built into the system to ensure that the ecosystem is not compromised any further. This paper seeks to examine the real ground level situation.
