The world's largest delta1 is the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta (also called the Sundarbans Delta), spanning Bangladesh and India. Formed by the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers, it covers ~100,000 km². Known for fertile plains and the Sundarbans mangrove2 forest (home to Bengal tigers), it supports over 140 million people but faces threats from rising sea levels and cyclones3.
