Agricultural pattern is changing due to erratic behaviour of monsoons. More stress is on cultivation of hybrid and high yielding verities of crops. Traditional and indigenous crop verities are mostly marginalised. We are now using more chemical fertilizers and pesticides as the productivity is falling and also due to increased risk of crop disease outbreaks. Our rivers don’t have enough fish to catch these days.
Sunderban the world's largest estuarine forest and delta covered by mangrove forests and vast saline mud flats is Located on the lower end of Ganga West Bengal. A land of 54 small islands, criss-crossed by innumerable tributaries of the Ganga that was once infested by Arakanese and Portuguese pirates is now the abode of varied flora & fauna population. Sunderban is bound on the west by river Muriganga and on the east by rivers Harinbhahga and Raimangal. Other major rivers flowing through this eco-system are Saptamukhi, Thakurain Matla and Gosaba.
Sunderban is characterized by the sundari trees that give the mangrove their name. These trees hold together the small islands of mud, on which they grow, with their roots. Nevertheless, with each incoming tide, the greyish brown silt looses itself to water seamlessly.
