  • Life At A Garbage Dump In Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka
    DUKAS_180846557_NUR
    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)

    The vanishing mangroves of El Salvador: 'All our efforts may only slow the destruction'
    In Barra de Santiago, local people are struggling to save one of the few remaining mangrove forests, as they are lost to agriculture and urban sprawl.

    Barra de Santiago serves as a crucial carbon sink in a region battling deforestation, and a natural shield for a country exposed to climate crisis-induced tropical storms and escalating sea levels.

    The vanishing mangroves of El Salvador: 'All our efforts may only slow the destruction'
    In Barra de Santiago, local people are struggling to save one of the few remaining mangrove forests, as they are lost to agriculture and urban sprawl.

    Barra de Santiago serves as a crucial carbon sink in a region battling deforestation, and a natural shield for a country exposed to climate crisis-induced tropical storms and escalating sea levels.
