The anticipated long-term impact of the Sundarbans biodiversity conservation project is primarily to protect the integrity of the environment and the biodiversity of the Sundarbans Reserve Forest. Comprising 6,000 square kilometers, the Sundarbans reserve forest is a globally significant ecosystem with a rich biodiversity and natural resources. It is the world’s largest remaining contiguous mangrove area, which also serves as a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including the Bengal tiger. At the same time, the Sundarbans reserve forest affords storm protection to the southwest of Bangladesh and subsistence to about 3.5 million people in 17 subdistricts of the impact zone.
So, it is easy to imagine how much of a blessing the Sundarbans are for us, especially for the people of the southern region. But today, Sundarbans are on the verge of destruction due to some of our multifaceted destructive activities. So now we have to come forward to protect the Sundarbans and take care of its huge resources. So, it can be said that the importance and magnitude of this project are very high.
