Talk:Sundarbans

message: here is a link to a website containing information on sundarbans tigers. It has weekly updates from a research team who are monitoring a radio collared tiger-
www.sundarbanstigerproject.info
I think it would be a relevent link for both this "Sundarbans" page and any on tigers
All the best

thread_title: Tiger website

message: There are two references to the number of tigers in the Sundarbans. I am in favour of the 700 as it has a citation. Can we please sort this out? Evildoctorcow 09:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflicting Tigers 

message: Hello. I just created a Wikipedia account and haven't yet edited anything, but am excited to do so. Before I do I wanted to check and get some opinions on whether or not what I had in mind is worthwhile/conforms to WP standards. I found this article because the tiger in Yann Martel's "The Life of Pi" is a Sundarban tiger, and I wanted to know more about them.  Is that fact - that the tiger in the book is from the Sundarbans - worth noting in the article?  Or is it too minor?  Thanks!

thread_title:  A good source 

message: I find it very hard to believe that 500 tigers in the Sundarbans kill 100-250 people per year and nobody does anything to stop it. Could somebody verify this "Man-Eating Tigers" section and add some references? ~ FerralMoonrender (T • C) 03:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This website claims that the number of human deaths was 1,000 - 1,600 in 1930s. This article, published in 1997, claims the annual number to be 300. This 2004 news item gives statistics of 59 deaths on only the Bangladesh side of the forest, on the other hand this BBC news item claims 50 deaths per year on Indian side. Based on all these it is fair to comment that the number of death is probably gradually decreasing but still an annual number between 100-250 could be a reasonable estimate.

thread_title:  Man-Eating Tigers? 

message: I undid the merge with the article Sundarbans because the Sundarbans freshwater swamp forests are an ecoregion, composed of seasonally-flooded freshwater forests, which is distinct from the Sundarbans mangroves, an ecoregion of permanently flooded brackish-water mangrove forests. They have a different ecology and species composition. The Sundarbans article is about the mangrove forests. Tom Radulovich (talk) 01:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Moved back. Sorry, there's ample space for both eco-regions here. And, things would remain less complicated and/or more comprehensive that way. Please, discuss before moving back again (if you do). Aditya(talk • contribs) 02:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Improvement needed 

message: This section:
Mangrove Adaptations
Mangrove plants live in hostile environmental conditions such as high salinity, hypoxic (oxygen deficient) waterlogged soil strata, tidal pressures, strong winds and sea waves. To cope with such a hostile environment, mangroves exhibit highly evolved morphological and physiological adaptations to extreme conditions.
Do mangroves need salt?
The answer is no. Mangroves are facultative halophytes, i.e., the presence of salt in the environment is not necessary for the growth of mangroves and they can grow very well in freshwater as well. One particular advantage to growing in a salty environment is the lack of competition! Only a limited number of plants have invested evolutionary energy in adapting to intertidal conditions. In the optimum conditions of a tropical rainforest, diversity is great and competition fierce.
Strikes me as almost definitely plagiarized. What do you guys think? --65.212.104.138 (talk) 04:46, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The article refers to Bangladeshi and Indian areas of the Sundarbans. Why then is the distinction made between the two at the top of the article? And not all of the Sundarbans in India is encompassed by Sundarbans National Park, so that disambiguation template should be deleted. C1MM (talk) 23:09, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I fully agree with you !! If this page referred only to the Bangladeshi part, it should be titled 'Bangladeshi Sundarbans'. But since it doesn't, I had deleted the disambiguation template, which was met with a strong protest, and I was even accused of edit warring. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 14:01, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

message: The SPOT satellite image depicts a non-forested region directly to the east of the Sundarbans as can be seen by comparison with the map at the top of the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundarbans#/media/File:সুন্দরবনের_মানচিত্র.svg
This explains why the satellite image captures a terrain mostly devoid of the green mangrove forests that appear clearly in the second Landsat image, which correctly captures the forest. 173.2.127.90 (talk) 07:27, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
