The whole area incorporates some 10 000 sq kilometres consisting of mangrove and swamp forests bordering the vast river delta on the Bay of Bengal (bottom). It is the world's largest single region of tidal halophytic mangrove forest. Here, the Sundarbans region appears in dark shades of green, while the adjacent brighter areas are densely populated and dominated by agriculture.
