- Description: Aerial roots (pneumatophores) of mangrove trees, in the Sundarbans, Khulna, Bangladesh. April 1, 2011. The name Sundarban, meaning beautiful forest, may have been derived from the dominance of the mangrove species Heritiera fomes, locally known as Sundari (beautiful) tree because of its elegance. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is the largest mangrove forest in the world with an area of about 10,000 square kilometers, 60% of which lies in Bangladesh and the rest in West Bengal, India. The Sundarbans is home to the Royal Bengal Tiger and provides a unique ecosystem and series of habitats for a wide variety of wildlife. In addition to the tiger, there are 42 species of mammals, 35 reptiles and amphibians, 270 species of birds, and over 120 species of fish. Many of these are endangered. The forest was enlisted among the finalists in the New 7 Wonders of Nature in 2010.
