Polluting water bodies |
|---|
|
Recently I visited a zoo in Abu Dhabi, UAE and I was shocked to see plastic debris floating in a crocodile pond. I knew that it can affect the health of animals as plastic can choke animals to death and cause respiratory and digestive diseases. People were throwing plastic wastes like bottles and wrappers in the pond
Being an animal lover and a person who want to save Earth from all sorts of pollution, I brought up this issue in Gulfnews newspaper.The article was published in Gulfnews on 8th November 2013. They contacted the zoo authorities. Authorities now have already started making a new pond with better enclosure to prevent people from throwing. Many thanks to Gulfnews and the zoo authorities. link to gulfnews newspaper http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/community-reports/plastic-debris-floats-in-a-crocodile-pond-1.1252137 So Dear friends, always try to do whatever you can to save our planet

Normally such thins are rare in UAE. Still it is promising that corrective action was taken

Corrective action after reporting is very encouraging for future.

This is quite surprising. I can't imagine throwing trashes in a zoo. Thanks for sharing Afra.
