The Sundarbans act as a natural barrier, their dense roots absorbing the storm surge and breaking the cyclone's force. But it's being eaten away by rising seas, pollution, and illegal logging. People think it's just a climate story, but I've seen how the real damage comes from the desperate poverty here—when a family needs to cook, they'll cut that mangrove. I know, because last monsoon, after volunteering to plant saplings, I watched a man from the same village we were trying to help, quietly taking wood for his hut.
