This part of Bangladesh is more exposer towards climate extremes and Sundarbans is the prime means of protecting the litoral community and managing Sundarbans as a healthy forest is essential thereby. Therefore when we talked about saving Sundarbans, instead of managing Sundarbans we sould be more focused on managing Sundarbans depended community. Where the best way can be alternate income generation(AIG). It could be carried out easily promoting eco-tourism in a large scale. A large number of employment can take place among Sndarbans associate community by promoting home staying, local guide, boatman etc. services. In that case, skill development to creat the circumstance tourist friendly is essential. Besides, the women should be trained to sell their native goods.

    Farjana Zaman Appointing community leaders as forest guards or watchman will keep the community people away from exploiting resources. Second step should be creating alternative employment facilities for other community families.

    in India. The local people alongside Sundarbans are completely dependent on this forest for their livelihood. They cut trees, catching fish, collecting honey, harvesting Golpata, etc. Above some of the work they are doing illegally. The main challenge is to improve their lives without degrading the Sundarbans if we will plan sustainably. Although economic gains are important, ecological and environmental issues must be considered in long-term development plans. The Sundarbans mangroves region is a UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization World Heritage Site, a Ramsar site, and a Class 3 tiger conservation landscape of global priority. If the local people will work jointly with the tourism board, some people will get a job like; tourist guide, driver guard, etc. They can accommodate tourists as well as provide some...    less

So, they are highly dependent on forest. And the main reasons of this dependency are the mono-cropping characteristics of their agriculture, low literacy rate, lack of awareness, lack of facilities etc.
    So, Govt. And other agencies Should focus on their education, sanitation and other facilities. As most of them are farmer and do fish farming can practice different agroforestry systems but for this, more researches should be done to ensure which crops, trees grow well in these areas because salinity is a big problem here. And obviously sustainable dams need to be built so that tidal water does not reach the locality.
    If they get their needs which they get from Sundarbans, our forest will be safe. And those projects harm Sundarbans, they should be stopped. Besides Eco-tourism can be a safe way for economic...    less
