The Sundarban is one of the most unique forest regions in the world and is internationally recognised as an ecologically sensitive region. Criss-crossed by mighty estuarine rivers and a maze of innumerable creeks and tributaries, this is the largest mangrove forest and the only mangrove tiger land in the world. The forest spreads across India and Bangladesh of which the Indian part is situated in the state of West Bengal. The fact that it is the largest remaining natural habitat of the Royal Bengal Tiger furthers its prominence in the world. ‘Visible Tiger; Invisible People’ is a study and report that looks at the status of implementation of the Forest Rights Act 2006 in the Sundarban forest region in India. It raises critical issues and questions the current system of forest governance in the country. It brings together the findings from the Public Hearing held at the Sundarban islands in 2016 by looking specifically at the situation of the fishworkers and forest workers in the region who are facing violations of their right to life and livelihood. It portrays the disconnect between the original ideas of forest conservation which focused on co-existence between humans, plants and animals and what is being done in reality by making areas inviolate under the garb of conservation.
