Chokoria Sundarban: A Forest without Trees – Documentary

Chokoria Sundarban: A Forest without Trees (Chokoria Sundarban: Je Bone Gaachh Nei) is a documentary on the destruction of the Chokoria Sundarban that used to be a 21,000-acre unique mangrove patch in the coastal district of Cox’s Bazar. The forest has been entirely destroyed and replaced by thousands of shrimp farms. Once the dense mangrove forest was full of diverse vegetation and wildlife. It also had abundant fish and naturally spawned shrimp. The mangrove, with its complex nature, provided a safe shelter to the wildlife, fish, shrimp and aquatic reptiles.
