A Better Bangladesh in five minutes, according to five speakers [04:12]
On my last night in Dhaka, I decided to host an evening of short talks by five of the most intriguing creative people I've met during my last visit to Bangladesh. So much creative energy is here in Dhaka, that we've decided to create more nights where the community who works in art, media, communication and tourism can get together to share good ideas. For more on this project, please see bangladesh.crowdsourced.travel

Discover The World Biggest Mangrove Forest Sundarban. Part 03 [22:32]
The Sundarbans (Bengali: সুন্দরবন, Shundorbôn) is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world. The name Sundarban can be literally translated as "beautiful jungle" or "beautiful forest" in the Bengali language (Shundor, "beautiful" and bon, "forest" or "jungle"). The name may have been derived from the Sundari trees that are found in Sundarbans in large numbers.

But the generally accepted view is the one associated with Sundari trees.[1] The forest lies in the vast delta on the Bay of Bengal formed by the super confluence of the Padma, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers across Saiyan southern Bangladesh. The seasonally-flooded Sundarbans freshwater swamp forests lie inland from the mangrove forests on the coastal fringe. The forest covers 10000 sq.km. of which about 6000 are in Bangladesh. It became inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1997. The Sundarbans is estimated to be about 4110 km², of which about 1700 km² is occupied by waterbodies in the forms of river, canals and creeks of width varying from a few meters to several kilometers. The Sundarbans is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests. The interconnected network of waterways makes almost every corner of the forest ...
