Forest of Fear
Sundarbans is no ordinary forest. It is a sinister tangle of mangroves where real fear haunts the twisting channels. In this Bengali swamp is the world's largest single population of tigers; a higher than average number of which are man-eaters.
Peter Jackson - a 'big cat' specialist - enters this area to investigate the problem of man-eating tigers. But many stories filter out about
Sundarbans and it's difficult to gather the facts; it's even more of a challenge to see what can be done to allow tigers to co-exist with people. Narrated by Barry Paine Directed and photographed by ALAN MCGREGOR
