and joined by other tributaries the Ganges delta enters the Bay of Bengal. The delta, at 200 miles wide (320
km) is one of the most fertile and densely populated regions of the world. The eastern side of the delta
changes rapidly and forms new land because of rapid sedimentation. The southern part of the delta has a
darker appearance because of tidal forests, swampland, and mangroves. The Sundarbans is the name of this
forested area and it is the site of a tiger preservation project for the governments of India and Bangladesh.
