Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the government of Bangladesh imposed a ban on tourism in the Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and natural wonder of the world. While this has been done to protect the ecology of the region, the ban has caused immense hardship to the people who depend on tourism for their livelihoods. The Sundarbans are a vital source of income for the surrounding communities, with many people working as boatmen, tour guides, and hotel staff. The ban has left thousands of people without work, leading to poverty and food shortages. The situation has been exacerbated by the lack of government support for affected communities, leaving them struggling to survive. The ban has also had a negative impact on the wildlife and habitat of the Sundarbans. With no tourists to monitor and report illegal activities, such as poaching and logging, there has been an increase in such activities. This puts the delicate ecosystem of the Sundarbans at risk, as it is home to several endangered species, including the Bengal tiger. To address the issue, experts suggest implementing measures to support the affected communities while also preserving the natural wonder of the Sundarbans. These measures could include providing financial assistance to those who are out of work, launching sustainable tourism initiatives, and increasing efforts to protect the ecosystem. It is essential to find a balance between protecting the environment and supporting the livelihoods of the people who depend on it.
