In the Ganges delta, the Sundarbans spread across 10,000 square kilometres of land and water shared between India and Bangladesh — the largest expanse of mangrove forest on Earth. India's Sundarbans National Park protects a wild tangle of tidal channels where tigers swim between islands and rare aquatic mammals, birds and reptiles persist. It was inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage in 1987.
