It is the largest single compact mangrove forest in the world covering an area of one million hectares. Approximately 62 per cent of the Sundarbans forest area (577 000 hectares) belongs to Bangladesh. About 67 per cent of Bangladesh Sundarbans area is land and the rest is occupied by open waters (Hussain and Karim 1994).
