Because it is located next to the Adriatic Sea, Croatia is home to a number of beautiful beaches with clear, blue water, begins its Business Insider article which praises the large number of Croatian beaches.
"Regardless of whether it is a well-known Dubrovnik beach or secluded beach Stiniva on the island of Vis, which was hidden between two cliffs, each beach has its original beauty," wrote the author Talia Avakin of Croatian beaches.
First on the list I found a pebble beach in Mošćenička Draga near Opatija. For the beach, located at the foot of Učka, Business Insider writes that offers a breathtaking view from the shade of pine trees.

Next Brela and the beach is known as the "Mediterranean oasis with six kilometers of white sand, punctuated with fig trees and olive trees." He added that Forbes this beach ranks among the most beautiful in Europe.
Dubrovnik's main beach is one of the most popular, thanks to the view that over the old town and city walls. Business Insider advised to rent a pedal boat and look around the city from the open sea.
"The beach in Baska is located on the island of Krk, the largest Croatian island. The beach offers bars, restaurants and cafes where you can rest from the sun, and while bathing you can explore the hidden coves," describes the next beach on their list.
Queen's beach in Nin, known for its healing mud, which is used as a remedy for sore joints and muscles. In addition, the beach offers a fabulous view of the Velebit.

"On the beaches in the summer, they can rule the crowds, but St. James offers you a private paradise. The local population loves this hidden beach because of its calm blue waters, beautiful views and privacy," says the author of the article.
The following is the list omiška beach, known for its golden sand which is soft due to the proximity of the Cetina. The beach is bordered by pines and tamarisk trees, and it offers a wonderful view of the nearby canyon.

Families with small children prefer the beach Prapratno, located in the south of the Peljesac peninsula, because of the shallow and calm waters and soft sand. People can still walk on the bottom and at a distance of a hundred meters from the beach.
"Zlatni rat on the island of Brac is home to the spectacle known as the Golden Horn, 600 today meter long sand moves admire because of their unique shape. This beach is the first choice of those involved in water sports, has come under fire because of good wind," the article.
Stiniva Vis the beach in the bay, hidden between two cliffs, distant four meters. Due to its unique location the beach is considered one of the most magnificent in the country.

The beach is located in a cave near Dubrovnik is a hidden place away from the crowds, here you can swim and explore the cave Betina.
Saplunara is home to a secluded cove and beach Blace, whose waters remain relatively warm throughout the year.
Beach Šunj on Lopud is a quiet beach with soft, sandy shore and clear water the color of emeralds.
"Odysseus cave on the island of Mljet is a big cave next to the beach that can be reached through a tunnel 30 meters. The legend says that it was here Odysseus found shelter after a shipwreck. Because of the beauty of Mljet, he decided to stay there seven years," he wrote in his Business Insider article.

The Sundarbans Mangrove Forest

The Sundarbans Mangrove Forest

The Sundarbans mangrove forest, one of the largest such forests in the world (140,000 ha), lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers on the Bay of Bengal. It is adjacent to the border of India’s Sundarbans World Heritage site inscribed in 1987. The site is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests, and presents an excellent example of ongoing ecological processes. The area is known for its wide range of fauna, including 260 bird species, the Bengal tiger and other threatened species such as the estuarine crocodile and the Indian python.

Outstanding Universal Value

Brief synthesis

The Sundarbans Reserve Forest (SRF), located in the south-west of Bangladesh between the river Baleswar in the East and the Harinbanga in the West, adjoining to the Bay of Bengal, is the largest contiguous mangrove forest in the world. Lying between latitude 21° 27′ 30″ and 22° 30′ 00″ North and longitude 89° 02′ 00″ and 90° 00′ 00″ East and with a total area of 10,000 km², 60% of the property lies in Bangladesh and the rest in India. The land area, including exposed sandbars, occupies 414,259 ha (70%) with water bodies covering 187,413 ha (30%).

The three wildlife sanctuaries in the south cover an area of 139,700 ha and are considered core breeding areas for a number of endangered species. Situated in a unique bioclimatic zone within a typical geographical situation in the coastal region of the Bay of Bengal, it is a landmark of ancient heritage of mythological and historical events. Bestowed with magnificent scenic beauty and natural resources, it is internationally recognized for its high biodiversity of mangrove flora and fauna both on land and water.

The immense tidal mangrove forests of Bangladeshs’ Sundarbans Forest Reserve, is in reality a mosaic of islands of different shapes and sizes, perennially washed by brackish water shrilling in and around the endless and mind-boggling labyrinths of water channels. The site supports exceptional biodiversity in its terrestrial, aquatic and marine habitats; ranging from micro to macro flora and fauna. The Sundarbans is of universal importance for globally endangered species including the Royal Bengal Tiger, Ganges and Irawadi dolphins, estuarine crocodiles and the critically endangered endemic river terrapin (Batagur baska).  It is the only mangrove habitat in the world for Panthera tigris tigris species.

Criterion (ix): The Sundarbans provides a significant example of on-going ecological processes as it represents the process of delta formation and the subsequent colonization of the newly formed deltaic islands and associated mangrove communities. These processes include monsoon rains, flooding, delta formation, tidal influence and plant colonization. As part of the world’s largest delta, formed from sediments deposited by three great rivers; the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna, and covering the Bengal Basin, the land has been moulded by tidal action, resulting in a distinctive physiology.

Criterion (x): One of the largest remaining areas of mangroves in the world, the Sundarbans supports an exceptional level of biodiversity in both the terrestrial and marine environments, including significant populations of globally endangered cat species, such as the Royal Bengal Tiger. Population censuses of Royal Bengal Tigers estimate a population of between 400 to 450 individuals, a higher density than any other population of tigers in the world.

The property is the only remaining habitat in the lower Bengal Basin for a wide variety of faunal species. Itsexceptional biodiversity is expressed in a wide range of flora; 334 plant species belonging to 245 genera and 75 families, 165 algae and 13 orchid species. It is also rich in fauna with 693 species of wildlife which includes; 49 mammals, 59 reptiles, 8 amphibians, 210 white fishes, 24 shrimps, 14 crabs and 43 mollusks species. The varied and colourful bird-life found along the waterways of the property is one of its greatest attractions, including 315 species of waterfowl, raptors and forest birds including nine species of kingfisher and the magnificent white-bellied sea eagle.

Integrity

The Sundarbans is the biggest delta, back water and tidal phenomenon of the region and thus provides diverse habitats for several hundreds of aquatic, terrestrial and amphibian species. The property is of sufficient size to adequately represent its considerably high floral and faunal diversity with all key values included within the boundaries. The site includes the entire landscape of mangrove habitats with an adequate surrounding area of aquatic (both marine and freshwater) and terrestrial habitats, and thus all the areas essential for the long term conservation of the Sundarbans and its rich and distinct biodiversity

The World Heritage property is comprised of three wildlife sanctuaries which form the core breeding area of a number of species of endangered wildlife. Areas of unique natural beauty, ethno botanical interest, special marine faunal interest, rivers, creeks, islands, swamps, estuaries, mud flats, and tidal flats are also included in the property. The boundaries of the property protect all major mangrove vegetation types, areas of high floral and faunal values and important bird areas. The integrity of the property is further enhanced by terrestrial and aquatic buffer zones that surround, but are not part of the inscribed property.

Natural calamities such as cyclones, have always posed threats on the values of the property and along with saline water intrusion and siltation, remain potential threats to the attributes. Cyclones and tidal waves cause some damage to the forest along the sea-land interface and have previoulsy caused occasional considerable mortality among some species of fauna such as the spotted deer. Over exploitation of both timber resources and fauna, illegal hanting and trapping, and agricultural encroachment also pose serious threats to the values of the property and its overall integrity.

Protection and Management Requirements

The property is composed of three wildlife sanctuaries and has a history of effective national legal protection for its land, forest and aquatic environment since the early 19th century. All three wildlife sanctuaries were established in 1977 under the Bangladesh Wildlife (Preservation) (Amendment) Act, 1974, having first been gazetted as forest reserves in 1878. 

Along with the Forest Act, 1927, the Bangladesh Wildlife (Preservation) (Amendment) Act 1974, control activities such as entry, movement, fishing, hunting and extraction of forest produces. A number of field stations established within Sundarbans West assist in providing facilities for management staff. There are no recognised local rights within the reserved forest with entry and collection of forest products subject to permits issued by the Forest Department.

The property is currently well managed and regularly monitored by established management norms, regular staff and individual administrative units. The key objective of management is to manage the property to retain the biodiversity, aesthetic values and integrity. A delicate balance is needed to maintain and facilitate the ecological process of the property on a sustainable basis. Another key management priority is the maintenance of ongoing ecological and hydrological process which could otherwise be threatened by ongoing developmental activities outside the property. Subject to a series of successively more comprehensive management plans since its declaration as reserved forest, a focus point of many of these plans is the management of tigers, together with other widlife, as an integral part of forest management that ensures the sustainable harvesting of forest products while maintaining the coastal zone in a way that meets the needs of the local human population. The working plans for the Sundarbans demonstrate a progressive increase in the understanding of the management requirements and the complexity of prescriptions made to meet them.

Considerable research has been conducted on the Sundarbans wildlife and ecosystem. International input and assistance from WWF and the National Zoological Park, the Smithsonian Institution as well as other organisations has assisted with the development of working plans for the property, focusing on conservation and management of wildlife.

The Sundarbans provides sustainable livelihoods for millions of people in the vicinity of the site and acts as a shelter belt to protect the people from storms, cyclones, tidal surges, sea water seepage and intrusion. The area provides livelihood in certain seasons for large numbers of people living in small villages surrounding the property, working variously as wood-cutters, fisherman, honey gatherers, leaves and grass gatherers.

Tourism numbers remain relatively low due to the difficult access, arranging transport and a lack of facilities including suitable accommodation. Mass tourism and its impacts are unlikely to affect the values of the property. While the legal protection afforded the property prohibit a number of activities within the boundaries illegal hunting, timber extraction and agricultural encroachment pose potential threats to the values of the property. Storms, cyclones and tidal surges up to 7.5 m high, while features of the areas, also pose a potential threat with possible increased frequency as a result of climate change.

Long Description

The Sundarbans consist of three wildlife sanctuaries (Sundarbans West, East and South) lying on disjunct deltaic islands just west of the main outflow of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers, close to the border with India.

The sanctuaries are intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mud flats and small islands of salt tolerant mangrove forests. The area is flooded with brackish water during high tides which mix with freshwater from inland rivers.

The larger channels are often a kilometre or two wide and generally run in a north-south direction. Rivers tend to be long and straight, a consequence of the strong tidal forces and the easily eroded clay and silt deposits. But apart from Baleswar River the waterways carry little freshwater as they are cut off from the Ganges, the outflow of which has shifted from the Hooghly-Bhagirathi channels in India progressively eastwards since the 17th century. They are kept open largely by the diurnal tidal flow.

Alluvial deposits are geologically very recent and deep. The soil is a clay loam with alternate layers of clay, silt and sand. The surface is clay except on the seaward side of islands in the coastal limits, where sandy beaches occur. The monsoon rains, flooding, delta formation, and tidal influence combine in the Sundarbans to for a dynamic landscape that is constantly changing.

Sands collect at the river mouths and form banks and chars, which are blown into dunes by the strong south-west monsoon winds. Finer silts are washed out into the Bay of Bengal where they form mud flats in the lee of the dunes. These become overlain with sand from the dunes and develop into grassy middens.

Because of the dominance of saline conditions, the forest flora in the western Sundarbans is not as diverse as in the east. Forest areas are dominated by a few species mostly Sundri and Gewu and patches of Nypa palm and several other of the 27 species of mangrove that are found in the Sundarbans.

The property is the only remaining habitat in the lower Bengal Basin for a variety of faunal species. The presence of 49 mammal species has been documented. Of these, no less than five spectacular species, Javan rhinoceros, water buffalo, swamp deer, gaur and probably hog deer have become locally extirpated since the beginning of the 21st century.

The Sundarbans of Bangladesh and India support one of the largest populations of Royal Bengal Tiger with an estimated 350 individuals. Other mammals include spotted deer and wild boar, three species of wild cat and Ganges River dolphin, which occurs in some of the larger waterways. Of the three species of otter, smooth-coated otter is domesticated by fishermen and used to drive fish into their nets.

Some 53 reptile species and eight amphibian species have been recorded of these mugger crocodile is now extinct, probably as a result of past over-exploitation, although it still occurs in at least one location nearby. Estuarine crocodile still survives but its numbers have been greatly depleted through hunting and trapping for skins. Four species of marine turtle have been recorded from the area.

The varied and colourful bird-life to be seen along its waterways is one of the Sundarbans' greatest attractions. There are some 315 species of waterfowl, raptors and forest birds including nine species of kingfisher and the magnificent white-bellied sea eagle.

Historical Description

All three wildlife sanctuaries were established in 1977 under the Bangladesh Wildlife (Preservation) (Amendment) Act, 1974, having first been gazetted as forest reserves in 1878. The total area of wildlife sanctuaries was extended in 1996. The entire Sundarbans is reserved forest, established under the Indian Forest Act, 1878.

Lucky Iron Fish

3,5 MILIAJRDE LJUDI SU OVO ČEKALESRETNA ŽELJEZNA RIBICA

Ovaj vas jednostavni izum može ojačati i spasiti puno ljudskih života

Lucky Iron Fish je socijalna tvrtka posvećena smanjenju stope pomanjkanja željeza širom svijeta. Kuhanje s ovim posebno formuliranom željeznom "ribom" može otpustiti do 75% dnevne doze željeza potrebne jednoj osobi.

Sretnu željeznu ribu izumio je kanadski liječnik dr. Christopher Charles i zahvaljujući njoj slabokrvnost bi uskoro mogla postati stvar prošlosti. 

Procjenjuje se da na svijetu ima 3,5 milijarde anemičnih ljudi i to je najčešći nutritivni problem u svijetu. A dodaci hrani su nedostupni ili preskupi za mnoge. Zato "riba" dr. Charlesa osigurava 75% preporučene dnevne doze željeza odrasle osobe. 

"Kuhajte vodu ili juhu sa željeznom ribe najmanje 10 minuta... onda je možete izvaditi. Dodajte malo soka od limuna koji je važan za apsorpciju željeza", objašnjava liječnik. 

Hrana kuhana na taj način neće imati drugačiji okus, a sama riba može trajati godinama. 

U Kambodži, gdje polovica stanovništva pati od slabokrvnosti, "ribu" trenutno koristi više od 2500 osoba, a ispitivanja pokazuju da polovica od onih koji su sudjelovali u istraživanju nakon 12 mjeseci upotrebe više nije bilo anemična. 

Dizajn "ribe" može se prilagoditi kako bi bio kulturološki prikladan i u drugim zemljama.

HAPPY IRON RIBICA

This simple invention you can strengthen and save a lot of lives

HAPPY IRON RIBICA This simple invention you can strengthen and save a lot of lives
Lucky Iron Fish is a social company dedicated to reducing the rates of iron deficiency worldwide. Cooking with this specially formulated iron "fish" can release up to 75% of the daily dose of iron needed for one person.

Happy iron fish was invented by a Canadian physician Dr. Christopher Charles and thanks to her anemia could soon become a thing of the past.

It is estimated that the world has 3.5 billion people are anemic, and it is the most common nutritional problem in the world. A feed additives are unavailable or too expensive for many. Therefore, "fish" Dr. Charles provides 75% of the recommended daily allowance of iron adults.

"Boil water or broth with an iron fish at least 10 minutes ... then you can take out. Add a little lemon juice, which is important for the absorption of iron," said the doctor.

Food cooked in this way will have a different flavor and the fish itself can last for years.

In Cambodia, where half of the population suffers from anemia, "fish" is currently used by more than 2500 people, and studies show that half of those who participated in the study after 12 months of use was no longer anemic.

The design "fish" can be adapted to be culturally appropriate in other countries.

Bangladesh Travel Guide

India’s sleepy eastern cousin, Bangladesh slumbers gently under monsoon skies at the mouth of the Jamuna River, one of the world’s great deltas.

Formerly East Pakistan, this intriguing backwater became independent in 1971 after a year-long civil war that still plays a major role in the national psyche.
An influx of tourists was predicted following independence, but this has yet to materialised, meaning visitors have Bangladesh’s many and varied attractions to themselves.
Those attractions range from Mughal palaces and gleaming mosques to palm-fringed beaches, rolling tea-plantations and jungles full of snarling Bengal tigers.
Bangladesh’s frenetic capital, Dhaka, was once the main port for the whole of Bengal, and its rickshaw-crammed streets present a faded mirror to Kolkata across the border.
Dhaka is a city of rain-washed colonial buildings, gaudy film posters, docksides thronging with boats and the constant cacophony of car horns and rickshaw bells. It can be a shock for the senses, but the blow is softened by friendly, inquisitive locals and delicious Bengali cuisine.
South of Dhaka, the Jamuna River breaks down into a tangle of jungle-choked waterways as you enter the Sundarbans, one of the last refuges of the Bengal tiger.
Here, as elsewhere in Bangladesh, the best way to get around is by river – legions of boats ply every waterway, from tiny coracles to the paddleboat ‘rockets’ that chug between Dhaka and Kulna.
The south of Bangladesh is something else again; tropical beaches give way to forested hills that hide a host of Buddhist and animist tribes. Then there’s Sylhet, in the heart of tea plantation country, where foreign remittances have built a miniature version of England amidst the monsoon hills.
Above all else, Bangladesh is place to leave the mainstream travel map. Let the crowds mob the beaches of Goa and the forts of Rajasthan; in Bangladesh, you won’t have to queue to be amazed.

For other non-direct rail connections, cycle-rickshaw, bus or porter services provide the cross-border connections.

Getting to Bangladesh by boat

The main seaport is Chittagong. Currently, there no international passenger routes to and from Bangladesh.
