Life At A Garbage Dump In Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka
Wild elephants leave a garbage dump after eating waste food in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, on February 7, 2024. In Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, a large garbage dump becomes a place where both animals and people gather. The government collects garbage from houses and brings it here. Workers burn the trash, creating thick smoke, but the dump remains full of activity. Elephants, cows, dogs, birds, crows, and even people come to this place, each searching for something.
The elephants are a sad sight. They come looking for food but end up eating harmful things like plastic, rotten food, and other waste. This makes them very sick and can even kill them. Other animals, like stray dogs, cows, and birds, also pick through the garbage, trying to find scraps to eat.
Among the animals, a man walks through the trash, collecting empty beer cans to sell. It is how he makes a living, but it is risky. He has to share the space with large elephants and other animals, and the burning garbage creates a smoky, unhealthy environment.
This dump shows the problems caused by poor waste management. Burning trash pollutes the air, and the open garbage attracts animals. Wild elephants, which should be in forests, are forced to eat waste, while people face health and safety risks.
To fix this, better solutions are needed. Sorting and recycling garbage can reduce the amount dumped here. Burning trash should stop, and proper waste disposal methods should be used instead. Forests must be protected so elephants and other animals have food and space in their natural habitats. Communities also need to learn about safe waste handling and how to live peacefully with wildlife.
This garbage dump is a reminder of how badly nature is being treated. It is time to take action to protect the environment, wildlife, and the people who live near these places. Together, a cleaner and safer future can be created. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto) -

Des scientifiques ont mis au point un bandeau permettant de savoir si un patient présente un risque d'accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC)
Pictures must credit: California Institute of Technology A headband that can tell if a patient is at risk of a stroke has been developed by scientists. The device monitors changes in blood flow and volume while a participant holds their breath. It incorporates a laser-based system and has shown promising results in terms of differentiating between individuals at low and high risk of stroke. Globally, one in four adults over the age of 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime. It is caused by the blockage or rupture of an artery in the brain, which results in a reduction in blood flow. Starved of oxygen, the brain's cells die rapidly—about tow million every minute during a stroke. Over 12 million people worldwide suffer a stroke every year and 6.5 million die as a result. The condition is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability. The headband has been created by a US team of engineers and scientists from the California Institute of Technology and the University of Southern California. Picture supplied by JLPPA

Cabbage and potatoes are not the only vegetables: can these female farmers persuade Mongolia to change its diet?
In a country where nearly a third of under-fives are anaemic, a lack of vegetables has contributed to poor health and high cancer rates. Now, that’s beginning to change as tomatoes, cucumber and celery are cultivated.
The health consequences of Mongolia's national diet and vegetable deprivation are becoming apparent. The country has the highest rate of liver and stomach cancer cases in the world.
Nursery 71, on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar, serves children from the ger district and makes sure all its pupils not only eat vegetables but also grow them.

Mongolia's ambitious programme to tackle cancer death rates reaches 40% of population
Screening project aims to reduce highest cancer mortality rate in the world, but nomadic way of life means many in rural areas are unaware of services.
An ambitious project in Mongolia to tackle cancer mortality rates has reached 40% of the country’s population, according to the World Health Organisation.
Two years after the screening programme began in the world's worst place for cancer survival almost half its citizens have been tested for a number of non-communicable diseases, particularly cancers.
Erdenekhuu Nansalmaa, director general of Mongolia’s National Cancer Centre, says late diagnosis is behind the country’s high death rates.

Cabbage and potatoes are not the only vegetables: can these female farmers persuade Mongolia to change its diet?
In a country where nearly a third of under-fives are anaemic, a lack of vegetables has contributed to poor health and high cancer rates. Now, that’s beginning to change as tomatoes, cucumber and celery are cultivated.
The health consequences of Mongolia's national diet and vegetable deprivation are becoming apparent. The country has the highest rate of liver and stomach cancer cases in the world.

Mongolia's ambitious programme to tackle cancer death rates reaches 40% of population
Screening project aims to reduce highest cancer mortality rate in the world, but nomadic way of life means many in rural areas are unaware of services.
An ambitious project in Mongolia to tackle cancer mortality rates has reached 40% of the country’s population, according to the World Health Organisation.
Two years after the screening programme began in the world's worst place for cancer survival almost half its citizens have been tested for a number of non-communicable diseases, particularly cancers.

'Stark disparities': Sandra Igwe. Why black mothers are more at risk of perinatal mental illness in England
Poverty, discrimination, and cultural stigma around mental health are among reasons, experts say.
Sandra Igwe, the founder of the Motherhood Group, an organisation dedicated to supporting black maternal health, said the stigmas surrounding mental health, as well as racism, could play a part in the disparity.
The organisation hosts support groups and workshops and works with NHS trusts to provide cultural competency training for black maternal healthcare.
Sandra Igwe runs an organisation called the Motherhood Group which supports black mothers.
