Bangladesh

Bangladesh, located in South Asia, is bordered by India, Myanmar, and the Bay of Bengal. It is the eighth most populous country, with Dhaka as its capital. The majority of its population are Muslims, with Hindus as the minority. Bangladesh faces challenges like overpopulation, poverty, and environmental issues. Historically, it was part of British India and later East Pakistan before gaining independence in 1972. The country is prone to flooding due to its low elevation and monsoon rains, exacerbated by climate change. The Sunderbans, a significant mangrove region, is home to diverse wildlife, including endangered Bengal Tigers. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect its biodiversity.
