The threats to the mangrove eco-system are arising partly due to biotic pressure from the surrounding environment and, partly due to human induced or natural changes in the upper catchments. These can be outlined as below:

o Reduced flow of sweet water into Sundarban mangrove system
o Extension of non-forestry land use into mangrove forest
o Straying of tiger into villages along the western boundary of Sundarban
o Demand for small timber and fuel wood for local consumption
o Poaching of tiger, spotted deer, wild boar, marine turtles, horse shoe crab etc
o Uncontrolled collection of prawn seedlings
o Uncontrolled fishing in the water of Reserve Forests
o Continuous trampling of river/creek banks by fishermen and prawn seed collectors
o Chemical pollution through marine paints and hydrocarbons
o Long International Border along the Eastern boundary of Indian Sundarban
o Organizational and infrastructure deficiencies
