Read the paragraph and answer the following questions (11-15):

\u00a0A vast mangrove forest shared by Bangladesh and India that is home to possibly five hundred Bengal Tigers rapidly destroyed by erosion, rising sea level and storm- surges, according to a major study by researchers at the Zoological Society of London and others. The Sundarbans forest took the brunt of super cyclone Sidr in 2007, but new satellite studies show that 71% of the forested coastline is retreating by as much as 200 meters a year. If erosion continues at this pace, already threatened tiger populations living in the forest will be put at risk. The Sdundarbans is known for vanishing islands but the scientist said the current retreat of the mangrove forest on the southern coastline is not normal. The causes for increasing coast line retreat, other than direct anthropogenic ones, include increased frequency of storm-surges and other extreme natural events, said Pettorelli, a member of Zoological Society of London. Our results indicate a rapidly retreating coastline that cannot be accounted for by the regular dynamics of the Sundarbans. Degradation is Happening fast, weakening this natural shield of and Bangladesh.
