Sundarbans West Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Khulna Division, Bangladesh.
The sanctuary encompasses 715 square kilometers of mangrove forests within the unified delta of Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers.
The British East India Company obtained control of the Sundarbans from Mughal Emperor Alamgir II in 1757, marking a shift in forest management.
The sanctuary derives its name from the predominant Heritiera fomes tree species, locally known as sundri, which grows throughout the protected area.
Visitors can access different sections of the sanctuary through a network of tidal waterways using boats during high and low tide periods.
The protected area houses 40 mammal species, including Bengal tigers, along with 260 bird species and 35 reptile species in its brackish water environment.
