A Bangladeshi child (L) is held by his mother as she stands among other women at a village near the Sundarbans in Khulna, some 350 kms southwest of Dhaka, on March 31, 2009. The Sundarbans, which means "beautiful jungle" in Bengali, is the world's largest mangrove forest covering an area over 10,000 square kilometres. Six thousand square kilometres of the forest are in Bangladeshi territory while the remainder is spread across India's West Bengal state. The Sundarbans was added as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site in 1997.
