Bangladesh, one disaster after another!

Bangladesh, with the natural, historical and cultural attractions to the travellers. Sundarbans National Park with the world's largest mangrove belt. Bangladesh's Mainimati Ruins, a famous seat of Buddhist culture between the 7th and 12th centuries. The city of Chittagong, the lovely structures of Qadam Mubarak Mosque and Shahi Jama-e-Masjid as well as the charming Ethnological Museum. (Bangladesh Channel) But this country is facing the world's biggest problem.

Bangladesh is one of the world's poorest nations also is most vulnerable country to sea-level rise. "Asia's largest rivers, the Ganges and the Bramaputra, join in the world's most extensive delta and flow into the Bay of Bengal. There lies Bangladesh, a nation of 140 million people beset by poverty and the floods of the rivers, and now also affected by rising sea level. Already a million people a year are displaced by loss of land along rivers, and indications are this is increasing." (World View of Global Warming)




if no action is taken about global warming, intruding water will damage the Sundarbans mangrove forest and a world's heritage site.
