The Sundarbans in southern Bangladesh at over 140,000 hectares is one of the largest areas of mangrove forests in the world and lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers in the Bay of Bengal. The site is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests, and is known for its wide range of fauna supporting over 400 bird species including the critically endangered Masked Finfoot. The Masked Finfoot used to be a fairly widespread species in the eastern Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, but human destruction of its mangrove and riverine habitats has driven the species close to extinction. None of the world’s places where one used to see Masked Finfoot are any longer reliable and the Sundarbans National Forest in Bangladesh is the last remaining area for this species. In order to access the remote, forested waterways of the Sundarbans, where tigers still roam to this day, the best solution is to charter a riverboat with sleeping cabins. From our riverboat, and also by using smaller boats in the narrow channels, we will patrol the waterways looking for photographic opportunities of the Masked Finfoot as well other mangrove speciality species.
