Largest Mangrove Forest

The World Record of ‘largest mangrove forest’ has been achieved by Sundarban from India and Bangladesh.

Mangroves are various large and extensive types of trees up to medium height and shrubs that grow in saline coastal sediment habitats in the tropics and subtropics.

Sundarban Mangrove is spreaded for 15540 km² across India and Bangladesh. The mangrove biome is a distinct saline woodland or shrubland habitat characterized by depositional coastal environments, where fine sediments collect in areas protected from high-energy wave action.
