This picture taken on June 3, 2023 shows a wild elephant eating rubbish mixed with plastic waste near cows at a dump in the eastern district of Ampara. Sri Lanka is set to launch a nation-wide clean up of plastic waste ahead of new laws banning the sale of single use plastics, the Environmental ministry said, after a spate of deaths of elephants and deer in the island's northeast after foraging at open garbage tips filled with plastic waste, whilst shrinking habitat has led to jumbos raiding villages looking for food.
