Physical Location of Sundarban

containing southern Bangladesh and a section in
the Indian condition of West Bengal. It is the
biggest single piece of tidal halophytic mangrove

Sundarban - Derivation
The name Sundarban can be actually deciphered as
"delightful timberland" in the Bengali dialect
(Shundor, "wonderful" and bon, "woods"). The name
may have been gotten from the Sundari trees (the
mangrove species Heritiera fomes) that are found
in Sundarbans in vast numbers. On the other
hand, it has been recommended that the name is a
defilement of Samudraban, Shomudrobôn ("Sea
Forest"), or Chandra-bandhe (name of a primitive
tribe). In any case, the for the most part
acknowledged perspective is the one connected
with Sundari trees.

Sundarban - History
The historical backdrop of the range can be
followed back to 200300 AD. A ruin of a city
worked by Chand Sadagar has been found in the
Baghmara Forest Block. Amid the Mughal period,
the Mughal Kings rented the woods of the
Sundarbans to close-by inhabitants. Numerous
culprits took asylum in the Sundarbans from the
propelling multitudes of Emperor Akbar. Numerous
have been known not assaulted by tigers. Many of
the structures which were worked by them later
tumbled to hands of Portuguese privateers, salt
bootleggers and dacoits in the seventeenth
century. Confirmation of the reality can be
followed from the vestiges at Netidhopani and
different spots scattered all over Sundarban. The
lawful status of the backwoods experienced a
progression of changes, including the refinement
of being the primary mangrove woodland on the
planet to be brought under investigative
administration. The zone was mapped first in
Persian, by the Surveyor General as ahead of
schedule as 1764 after not long after restrictive
rights were acquired from the Mughal Emperor
Alamgir II by the British East India Company in
1757. Methodical administration of this
timberland tract began in the 1860s after the
foundation of a Forest Department in the Province
of Bengal, in British India. The administration
was altogether intended to concentrate whatever
fortunes were accessible, yet work and lower
administration for the most part were staffed by
local people, as the British had no aptitude or
adjustment involvement in mangrove woods.

species were recorded by David Prain in 1903.

different parts of the world are described by
individuals from the Rhizophoraceae,
Avicenneaceae or Combretaceae, the mangroves of
Bangladesh are ruled by the Malvaceae and
Euphorbiaceae. Overwhelming verdure incorporates.
The Sundarbans greenery is described by the
plenitude of sundari (Heritiera fomes), gewa
(Excoecaria agallocha), goran (Ceriops decandra)
and keora (Sonneratia apetala) all of which
happen unmistakably all through the territory.
The trademark tree of the timberland is the
sundari (Heritiera littoralis), from which the

It yields a hard wood, utilized for building
houses and making water crafts, furniture and
different things.
