A lone elephant is spotted here feasting on a very vibrant patch of a vast garbage site in Sri Lanka. As some of the largest waste dumping sites are placed very close to the Important Dry Zone forests in Sri Lanka, elephants regularly visit these sites, looking for an easy meal. Unfortunately, they can also ingest harmful microplastics and polythene along with the food, which are life-threatening elements to elephants. Photo by Lakshitha Karunarathna
