MALDIVES-ENVIRONMENT-WASTE-TOURISM
To go with MALDIVES-ENVIRONMENT-WASTE-TOURISM,FEATURE by ADAM PLOWRIGHT
In this photo taken on September 6, 2013, Fusin, a forty-year old Bangladeshi immigrant carries a sac of recyclable material as he walks in the country's largest trash dump surrounded by flies 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.
