While mangroves are resilient, rapid sea-level rise can outpace their ability to adapt by migrating inland or growing vertically, leading to the loss of these vital coastal defenses.

Rising sea levels lead to saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources and agricultural lands, a significant problem for the Sundarbans ecosystem and its inhabitants.

The Sundarbans is a vast low-lying delta, making it highly susceptible to inundation from rising sea levels. The dense mangrove roots also play a role in coastal protection.

Effective wildlife corridors require a multi-stakeholder approach, involving cooperation and coordination among various entities to ensure land use planning, habitat restoration, and community support.

A primary goal of wildlife green corridors is to counteract habitat fragmentation, which isolates animal populations and hinders their movement, breeding, and access to resources.

The Green Corridor Initiative focuses on creating safe and connected pathways for wildlife to move between fragmented habitats, reducing human-wildlife conflict and improving genetic diversity.
