Tanguar haor, Ramsar wetland in Sunamganj District, Bangladesh.

The wetland ecosystem spans 100 square kilometers across Dharmapasha and Tahirpur regions, containing 120 distinct water bodies called beels within its boundaries.

The government designated this wetland as an Ecologically Critical Area in 1999 and registered it as a Ramsar site in 2000 to protect its resources.

Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices and agricultural methods that adapt to the seasonal flooding patterns of the wetland system.

The wetland becomes accessible through houseboats measuring 71 feet in length, which began operating in 2021 for navigation across the water bodies.

During winter, the wetland hosts 200 migratory bird species while sustaining 140 freshwater fish varieties in its interconnected water network.
