Community-led mangrove restoration supporting ecological resilience and local livelihoods in the Sundarbans.
ExploreA living archive of the Sundarbans
Breathing Roots documents, restores and keeps alive the ecological, cultural and community life of the delta.
Place
It moves with the tide, shifts with the river, and lives between land and water.
Forest, water, wildlife and human life exist within a constantly changing landscape.

A landscape shaped by water, movement, uncertainty and memory.
Rooted in place
Breathing Roots works with the people and places of the Sundarbans to document, preserve and strengthen the relationships that hold this landscape together.
Its work moves between ecological restoration, cultural memory, community life and research — not as separate subjects, but as connected parts of one changing delta.
Document
Stories, knowledge, music, memory and everyday experience.
Restore
Mangroves, riverbanks and the ecological systems communities depend on.
Keep alive
Cultural practices and local knowledge through continued transmission.
