Bangladesh to promote nature's wonder

  The scenery of Sundarbans

The Bangladesh Pavilion on July 19 will launch a vigorous campaign to promote the Sundarbans Forest, its UNESCO world heritage and a candidate on the finalist's list of the new Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

The Sundarbans Forest is a tiger and biosphere reserve located in the Sundarbans delta in the Indian state of West Bengal. This region is densely covered by mangrove forests, and is one of the largest reserves for the Bengal tiger. It is also home to more than 260 kinds of birds, reptile and invertebrate species, including the salt-water crocodile.

The new seven natural wonders will be announced on November 11, 2011 among all 28 candidates from six continents.

The pavilion will be decorated into a “mini Sundarbans Forest” to attract nature lovers to vote Sudarban for one of the seven wonders.
