MALDIVES-ENVIRONMENT-WASTE-TOURISM
To go with MALDIVES-ENVIRONMENT-WASTE-TOURISM,FEATURE by ADAM PLOWRIGHT
In this photo taken on September 6, 2013, a man looking to make money from recycling metals, shows copper wiring, that he claimed after burning discarded cords in the country's largest trash dump at Thilafushi Island. Descending by plane into the Maldives offers a panoramic view of azure seas and coral-fringed islands, but as the tarmac nears billowing smoke in the middle distance reveals an environmental calamity. Thilafushi Island, a half-hour boat trip from the capital, is surrounded by the same crystal clear waters and white sand that have made the Indian Ocean archipelago a honeymoon destination for the rich and famous.
