This was a sketch done by Frederick Peter Layard in 1839. This sketch shows a village that is in the Sundurbans in Bangladesh.
"This image was created by merging Landsat 7 satellite observations from Novemeber 24,1999, and November 17 and 26, 2000." (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=7028, 2000) This image shows the Sundurban forests which are a deep green. The agricultural lands are the lighter green. The shrimp farms are near the edge of the protected area which raises some concern because it may be detrimental to the ecosystem.
