Wild and dirty

Once upon a time, there was a world. It was full of lush forests, azure waters and a perpetually happy sun. And then came humans.

This could be the story of our planet in miniature. According to a 2019 study by Unplastic Collective, India generates 9.46 tonnes of plastic waste annually, most of which chokes landfills and pollutes natural environments. Nature has become a dump yard. It is sad to see our wild animals forced to live amidst this waste. Untouched habitats radiating a riotous beauty are now preserved only in nature magazines and picture calendars. Tiger cubs biting plastic bottles, jackals licking Styrofoam plates, wolves foraging at dumpsites…. These are heartbreaking images captured in a new photo project on Instagram called #InOurFilth.
