The Chakaria Sundarbans of Bangladesh has been subjected to severe biotic interferences in the recent decades. A study was carried out to assess the present status, past condition, process of destruction and also to examine the feasibility of reforestation in this mangrove forest. The greater part of the forest has been converted to shrimp farms. The entire area is virtually without any vegetative cover. The land is apparently suitable for reforestation with mangrove species. However, a rehabilitation programme is only possible if the cooperation of the shrimp farmers and local people can be ensured.
