  • India's Shrinking 'Ghoramara Island'<br>GHORAMARA, INDIA - JUNE 11: A child looking at a ship is pictured on June 11, 2016 in Ghoramara Island, India.

Ghoramara Island is an island 92 km south of Kolkata, in the Sundarban Delta complex of the Bay of Bengal. The island is roughly five square kilometers in area, and is quickly disappearing due to erosion and rise in sea level. Two decades ago, the land inhabited by 40,000 people has shrunk and it can now shelter only 3,500 now. The high tides everyday swallow portions of land from all sides of the island and the continual rise in sea level due to Global warming is a major threat to the low-lying island.
