Indian village volunteers of the Nature
Indian village volunteers of the Nature Environment and Wildlife Society (NEWS) wait to welcome a British delegation visiting a Mangrove Nursery, a project funded by the British government, at the village of Mathurakhand in the Sunderbans, some 125 kms south east of Kolkata on February 10, 2008. The delta of Sunderbans, the world's largest mangrove forest covering 26,000 square kilometres in India and neighbouring Bangladesh, is under threat of rising sea levels of some 3 mm per year. Environmentalists says that the planting of mangroves can protect the unique forest which is also the habitat of Royal Bengal Tigers.
