Constraints
There is no denying the fact that the mangrove zone because of its difficult geographic situation and hostile terrain criss-crossed by a network of turbulent streams and having long stretch of international border with Bangladesh and fishing arena in the sea for thousands of trawlers and mechanised boats is vulnerable to various threats like poaching of animals and pilferage of woods. Compared to the size of this protected area and the proportion of problems which is encountered here the logistic support in terms of staff strength, infrastructure facilities and availability of fund is inadequate.
Human population
There is no village inside the Reserve.
Outside the Tiger Reserve there are more than 1000 villages within Sundarbans area out of which around 100 villages are very close to STR at the north and north-west fringe of the Reserve.
Livestock population
There is no livestock in the Reserve.
Encroachment
There is no encroachment within the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve area. An attempt for encroachment was made in 1978 in the Jhila Block (Marichjhapadi) by the refugees from Bangladesh but the attempt was thwarted and the area was made free from encroachers.
Grazing
As the mangrove forest of Sundarbans Tiger Reserve is bounded all through its periphery by streams and creeks, there is no problem of cattle grazing within the reserve.
Fire
Fire does not occur.
Poaching of fauna and flora
The core area of the Reserve is free from all biotic interference though attempts of fishing are a disturbance.
