Man-Eating Tigers of the Sundarbans

BBC Two - Natural World, 2008-2009, Man-Eating Tigers of the Sundarbans

How the tigers of the Sundarbans forest kill up to fifty forest workers a year.

Documentary. The Sundarbans forest provides resources for nearby communities, but up to 50 forest workers are killed by tigers each year.

Tiger experts in Bangladesh have a problem: how can they encourage local people to protect the beautiful and endangered Bengal tiger when these animals have developed a taste for human flesh?

The Sundarbans forest is one of the biggest tracts of mangrove forest left in the world. It is rich in wildlife and provides important forest resources for communities living around its edge. But up to 50 forest workers are killed by tigers each year, and now the boldest animals are sneaking into villages at night.

This gripping film reveals the tension and heartache of living so close to a killer cat and follows the bold attempt by one village to teach street dogs to scare away the rogue tiger on their doorstep.
