Summary This film is made together with Sundarbans forest communities. It highlights how the customary use of biodiversity by traditional resource users in the Sundarbans mangrove forest is vital to the conservation and sustainable use of this wetland of international importance, including a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a RAMSAR site. However, traditional knowledge and customary use are being ignored by the Bangladesh Government and forest peoples are being excluded from decision-making and management of the forest.
