  • Trash discarded into the mangroves by tourists on Gosaba island, Sundarban, West Bengal, India, on 18th January, 2012. The trash prevent the mangrove seeds from growing thus allowing the island soil to slip away into the sea. The Sundarban islands and mangroves are sinking, say experts, due to climate change. Locals say they are overwhelmed by tourists' trash that affect the mangroves and sudden changes in weather patterns that have caused such damage that they continue to struggle to recover. One of the islands, once inhabited, has slowly sunk. Photo by Suzanne Lee for The National (online byline: Photo by Szu for The National)

  • After Cyclone Aila struck the Sundarbans in 2009, locals still struggle with logged salt water that renders fertile farming land almost unusable on Gosaba island, Sundarban, West Bengal, India, on 18th January, 2012. Due to this loss of livelihood, many have had to turn to fishing or wild honey gathering in the forest reserve, exposing themselves to becoming prey for the sanctuary's booming tiger population. A successful Royal Bengal tiger breeding program has increased their numbers but decreased the number of husbands. There are now an estimated 3,000 widows in the villages where their husbands, have been killed by tigers. Photo by Suzanne Lee for The National (online byline: Photo by Szu for The National)

  • Tiger attack survivor Tarubala Mandol, 30, walks out of her home on Gosaba island, Sundarban, West Bengal, India, on 18th January, 2012. 1.5 years ago, she was pounced on at dawn by a waiting tiger outside her home. She survived as the tiger was chased away and tranquilized when it hid in the forest goddess Bono Debi/Bono Bibi temple nearby. Tigers have been known to swim, sometimes underwater, to the village to hunt humans. A successful Royal Bengal tiger breeding program has increased their numbers but decreased the number of husbands.

  • After Cyclone Aila struck the Sundarbans in 2009, locals still struggle with logged salt water that renders fertile farming land almost unusable on Gosaba island, Sundarban, West Bengal, India, on 18th January, 2012. Due to this loss of livelihood, many have had to turn to fishing or wild honey gathering in the forest reserve, exposing themselves to becoming prey for the sanctuary's booming tiger population. A successful Royal Bengal tiger breeding program has increased their numbers but decreased the number of husbands. There are now an estimated 3,000 widows in the villages where their husbands, have been killed by tigers. Photo by Suzanne Lee for The National (online byline: Photo by Szu for The National)
