There are too many villages are situated in the Sundarban at safe distance from the home of wild animals. So that, they follow the safety guideline of the Government strictly. Therefore they live there safely. There is less cultivated land available in Sundarban, So most peoples depend on forests and rivers for maintaining their livelihood. They collect honey and wood from the forest. Apart from this many peoples go to the river and sea for fishing whereas many of them collect crabs, and fish at the riverside and small cannel. Many peoples have been losing their lives during their fishing or collection of honey, wood, and crabs every year because of the Royal Bengal tigers and other wild animals. Generally, Sundarban contains many wild animals, birds, and reptiles like tiger, wolf, hyena, deer, crocodile, snake, and many more. As Sundarban is covered with a huge mangrove forest wild animals move there freely because of their food and hunting. Sundarban national park is formed in 1964 as a tiger reserve area to protect other lives including villagers of Sundarban. The peoples of Sundarban are very honest and nomadic in nature. They follow the local culture and they need minimum requirements to survive their lives. They are very simple and honest. Many of them perform local cultural programs and traditional dances for the tourists.
