This is an aerial view of the Pakhiralay village coast along the Gomdi-Datta river in the highly endangered UNESCO heritage site, Sundarbans. • These ferries are the only way that people get from one island to the other for jobs, schools, markets and so on. There are very few metal roads due to constant humidity and water leading to severe damage. • Life on the islands of Sundarbans for mankind is extremely challenging as water in itself is salty. The government has provided nonetheless to very few village pipelines for clean drinking water. Most of the homes have a small pond or pukkhara as locally called for water. With the help of the mud of this pukkahra along with bamboos, these villagers make walls for their home and the roofs are made of rice hatch. • Most of the cement homes that one can see are hotels and government offices, schools and shopping arcades. • For the recent cement constructions on these islands, one requires to have a deep foundation of more than 5ft for a two storey house as land is full of water being a mangrove. The damage to cement s great despite the cement being a strong material because of the salt and humidity present in the soil as well as air. • The Sundarbans mangrove forest, one of the largest such forests in the world (140,000 ha), lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers on the Bay of Bengal. It is adjacent to the border of India’s Sundarbans World Heritage site inscribed in 1987. • The site is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests, and presents an excellent example of ongoing ecological processes. The area is known for its wide range of fauna, including 260 bird species, the Bengal tiger and other threatened species such as the estuarine crocodile and the Indian python. • Source: whc.unesco.org • This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest collection of HD imagery from South Asia.
