The Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the world’s largest mangrove forest, spread across the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers. Known for its iconic Royal Bengal Tigers, tidal waterways, and intricate network of creeks, the region is a stunning example of biodiversity and ecological adaptation. Its constantly shifting landscape offers a rare glimpse into the dynamic relationship between land, water, and life.

This program provides students with a rare opportunity to explore the heart of India’s largest estuarine ecosystem. Through guided boat safaris, interactions with local tribes, and a visit to rural schools, students gain insight into the resilience of communities living at the edge of the wild. The program blends ecological education with cultural immersion—offering nature trails, storytelling sessions, and collaborative team games that encourage empathy, awareness, and respect for life in fragile habitats.

Conservation Concerns

The Sundarbans is extremely vulnerable to climate change, rising sea levels, and increased salinity. Frequent cyclones, erosion, and habitat loss have placed immense pressure on both the wildlife and the communities that depend on the forest for survival. Human-tiger conflict and shrinking mangrove cover are growing concerns. Conservation in the Sundarbans calls for a holistic approach—protecting the ecosystem while also supporting the adaptive capacities of local communities through education, sustainable practices, and disaster preparedness.
