Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest, protects our coastal lands from natural disasters and thus saves the lives of thousands every year. But now it is under great threat because of the Rampal coal-powered power plant project undertaken by the government. Obviously, Bangladesh needs more power plants but not at the cost of Sundarbans.
