90 days in Sundarbans

The forest department monitored tiger activity in the Sundarbans from February 12 to May 12 - these three months. They have assisted a non-profit organization called Wild Team. 21 members of the company are cultivating the Khulna and Sharankhola ranges of Sundarbans. Abu Sayed, a young member of the team, has faced all sorts of different experiences of running after a tiger. Listen to him the story of the abduction of the Sundarbans.

At the beginning, the survivor died

A few days after starting work in Sundarbans, I got a new life in the traditional way! The February 25 incident. Working in the forest, I returned to Sampan. Sampanata left immediately. Often, our whole body would become muddy when we went to work in the forest. As a result, our first task was to cleanse the whole body after returning from the forest. That day I am pouring bucket of water into my body. Biplob Kanti Sarkar, a member of the party was cleaning the mud legs. Suddenly, he saw a tattoo on his leg like a tattoo. Blood is flowing from the legs. Seeing that, our leader of the 'Hangs Raj' Tanvir Khan told everyone, 'Check everyone's feet, there may be leaks.'

Standing at one end of the snake running away from the tumble, I was watching the saddle foot and two, whether the leech was mate again. A sudden surge of waves; Immediately after jumping in the river I went! After a while I raised my face over the water and saw that the sampanata had come a long way. There is no more air in my chest! The river of Bolshevar was overturned I was like a straw in the big waves. This is going down, this is floating. Jungle boots on my feet, I could not swim. It seemed, this is the end!

Suddenly I noticed in the eyes, Tanvir's brother jumped into the river. It was not so good to see someone jump in the water before. Chest diminished slightly. Who knows if I could write this article today if it didn't save me at that time!

Tigers or our lunch

I left Dhaka for the Sundarbans on the morning of 10 February. An unknown fear in the beginning, I do not understand how to do anything. On the 12th, the launch of 'Mahira' traveled from the Khulna jail ghat to the Sundarbans. We trained on how to work in Sundarbans for two days on 13 and 14 days. We are a team of 25 people. We worked in small groups of five. I was a team research assistant. The task was to tour the Sundarbans with the team, monitor the tiger's movements and store the collected photos and data.

While working in the orchards of the Sundarbans, our place to eat and drink at night was 'Mahira' and 'Leisure'. Launching in the river, we went to the forest with an engine-powered sump. I used to get out at eight in the morning, back in the afternoon, evening or night. During this time, lunch was consumed in the forest. It seemed to eat at noon, when not myself to become a tiger uncle's lunch!

Wildlife in disguise

Right after dusk, we sat at the flashlight with the Forest Department camp. I used to get ears for gentle jarring sounds. Guntam waiting for the time, when to leave. After sitting for a long time, the words suddenly came to my ears. One or more razors can be seen only when the torches are raised by the ears The thorny enemy saw the thorns on us! This creature looks unbearable in the torch light. Particularly like the red Indian warriors, the thorny thorns in the eyes of the dazzling light!

We had to do a lot of exercise to see not only the deer, but also the deer, pigs and birds. Sometimes the body of the shapala leaves the body up to the mouth and sat in the pond of the forest department camp. Once again, my whole body was sitting in the curtains of the tree eager to see four or five hands walking in front of a group of deer.

When the tiger is behind us

The afternoon of February 19. We are moving forward with the footprint of the tiger. A footprint was found at a place. Immediately we set the camera a little farther. Finish within five minutes. We have to go back with the footprints. Suddenly I noticed, next to the previous impression, another new row impression! Some time ago, the tiger Mama walked with this. Fresh impression is what RK refers to.

Our chest is dry wood. There is no one in the face. The tiger is definitely killed somewhere in the back. On the contrary, we will observe the movements of the tiger, but he may be observing us. We are natives of Mysterious Island and the tiger is Captain Nemo! The heart of each of us took a temporary break in the terror of the tiger. Luck was not far off the bank of the good river. VHF Radio contacted our Sampanwala in a trembling voice. After the sampanata shore, it seemed that I could not get the ball to my knees! The heartbeat started to accelerate.

Trust when Bangladesh is wireless

There is no mobile phone network in Sundarbans. As a result we were often literally out of the network. Because of this, there was no way of knowing what was happening in the country. There was no communication with the family. I talked to my mother about a month later. At that time, the only reliance on hearing the news was Bangladesh wireless. In the morning and at the end of the day's work, we would sit on a radio at lunch. It seemed like listening to the radio in this room of information technology, we figured we were back at some point in the timeline! Life outside the network is not bad at all.

Green on brown powder is terrific

We often have to cross many canals for work. If the water is low in the bhata canal, then I could walk. Water is high in the tide, so crossing the canal would leave the tree dead. One day an accident happened while crossing a canal. I went to pick up a tree to die. After lifting it up a little, Monirul's brother threw it away. The reason why he threw away, he could not say. At that moment, the green 'peat viper' snake that caught the scalp inside the tree was caught in our eyes. The poisonous snake was right in front of Monirul Bhai's face while lifting the tree up! What would happen if you did not immediately drop the powder!

Attack of the Red Army

Crocodiles in the water and tigers in the mountains - who has not heard this proverb about the Sundarbans! However, another name for the panic is the red ants. Although small in size, they do not have to move, we have found in the bone to the bone, wrong, in fact, it should be said that skin to skin!

On that day, we are preparing to enter the forest from Sampan. When I got out of the water, I chose a tree like a bridge over water. While roaming down the tree, the roar stopped. For self-defense, we used a stick. The stick in one's hand went to the house of red ants! The house was broken in an instant. Immediately hundreds of red ants attacked our bodies. It was such a bite that we all got down to the dance competition in the forest.

I will come back again

We have seen King Cobra several times in Sundarbans. However, the hollow King Cobra faced us on the last day of Sundarbans, ie on the 5th of May. Ismail Azam, the leader of our 'Molongi' group, and I followed suit. After losing quite a few paths, I lost the snake. It was bad. In fact, the mind was bad since dawn. The last day in the Sundarbans, the thought of the words where the chest was twitching at the moment. Think of an elephant black cloud. The sky was black over him.

It was 9 o'clock in the morning, we entered the forest. The wind blowing from the north is causing a tremor in the body. Since the beginning of May we have seen the image of more than one black person. On that day, the whole sky was covered with gigantic black clouds. It started raining heavily. How strange it was to be around the world. We lost the way. I was returning to a place. In the book that is called 'death circle'. The GPS is off too, the battery is gone. After a lot of scattering, we finally returned to the forest department camp, observing the movement of the wind. It was four o'clock in the afternoon at the clock!

When we sat down to eat in the speedboat in the afternoon, it started raining lightning again. Everyone ran into the forest with food and drinks. Lunch soaked in the rain soaked. That is what the forest is literally called. After the rain was down, I left for lunch. On the way back, a huge rainbow has risen in the far sky. Yeah, I've been looking for how long. There are so many beautiful rainbows! The rainbow seemed to look like these three months of life were as colorful as the seven colors of the rainbow.

I've been researching Sundarbans, working year after year - I'm not somebody. But the experience that I have had in these three months has been an asset to my entire life. Needless to say, this experience seems to be coming back to this Sundarbans again!
