This book brings together 45 years' worth of experience-derived
information about more than 7,000 micro- and macro- species, which
form the unique bio-diversity of the world's largest mangrove
ecosystem, as it struggles against the natural and anthropogenic
threats. Up to 1770, the estimated area of Sundarbans was around
36,000 km2, but has reduced over time to 25,000 km2, due to
reclamation. This loss and the related degradation of habitats has
caused historical species extinction and population decline.
Whereas biodiversity conservation within and beyond the protected
areas has been the watchword since the 1990s ("biodiversity,
aesthetic values and integrity"), the initial two hundred years of
imperial and post-colonial forest management focused primarily on
revenue and production forestry, to the detriment of the ecology of
the area. It will be of interest to researchers, in zoology,
botany, ecology and conservation, as well as professionals, such as
foresters, environmentalists, conservationists, resource managers,
planners, government agencies, academic institutions, NGOs and
naturalists.
