Title
Chapter Title: Sundarbans Mangrove Forest, Bangladesh
Book Title: Climate and Conservation: Landscape and Seascape Science, Planning, and Action

Abstract
The Sundarbans are one of the most significant mangrove forests in Asia. Due to both lack of information and lack of capacity to conduct conservation planning in response to climate change, an essential component of future conservation work in the region will be to develop strong climate-sensitive indicators of conservation requirements. One of these can be freshwater dolphin populations, which integrate climate-related changes from the mountains to the sea and can thus inform adaptive resource management. Considering both the vital importance of the Sundarbans mangrove forest for sustaining livelihoods and biodiversity, as well as the region’s extreme vulnerability to climate change, freshwater dolphin ecology offers a way forward to prioritize aquatic conservation activities in the region.
