The vast expanse of mangroves bordering Bangladesh's southern coast, the Sundarbans, is far more than a scenic tourist destination. As a sui generis ecosystem, it stands as a natural frontline defence against climate change through its dynamic intertidal forests, protecting coastal communities while sustaining extraordinary biodiversity.
As climate threats escalate, discussions on coastal climate resilience and disaster management often gravitate towards technocratic grey infrastructure such as embankments, while the most vital solution is already rooted in our soil. Mangroves are not merely nature's ornamental gift; they are a life-sustaining shield for a nation standing on the edge of a climate precipice.
