"SUNDARBANS" world largest mangrove forest
SUNDARBANS plays a very important role in Bangladesh specially in the south bay area. Its a bunch of low-lying islands in the bay of Bengal, spread across Bangladesh and India famous for unique mangrove forest. This active delta region is the largest among the world, measuring about 44,000 km. Sundarban is the natural protector of the southern coastal area of Bangladesh from cyclones and other calamities originate at the bay of Bengal.All of our activities have been targeted toward adaptation to environmental changes with a view to protecting human lives from floods and hurricanes, and protecting the environment from pollution caused by rapid urbanization and unsustainable industrialization. we need to save the Sundarbans for its rich biodiversity, besides the precious Royal Bengal Tiger. Sundarbans is a natural protector of the southern coastal areas of Bangladesh from cyclones and other calamities originating at the Bay of Bengal.
In 2011, Bangladesh government has started to set up a coal-based power plant is constructed near the Sundarbans area of Khulna, it would harm the biodiversity of the Sundarbans. Authority says that,the power plant would not cause any harm to the Sundarbans or the livelihood of the people in the surrounding areas. But the reality is,There would be some impact obviously; so many boats will come, carrying so much coal, the flora and fauna will be substantially affected by this.
Finally i want to say, leave the Sundarbans alone, without any human intervention. The only thing the government can do to save the Sundarbans is to minimise human intervention by not polluting the nearby area, by not disturbing the animals and birds, by not allowing boats to carry goods, by not polluting the rivers with harmful substances, and by not polluting the air that can harm the plants.

Do you know the current situation with the mangrove forest? You wrote that in 2011, the government wanted to set up a coal-based power plant, now that it's 8 years later, what has happened?
