Cara Tejpal & Prachi Galange started the #InOurFilth campaign after noticing a disturbing trend in the #wildlife photographs coming to Sanctuary Nature Foundation’s image library. Here’s a glimpse of what they found https://t.co/4T3ItpYUaD @SanctuaryAsia @EcoEchoFoundat1 #nature
We are resuming our #InOurFilth campaign. This crowdsourced project is busting #India’s “pristine wilderness” narrative and revealing the appalling reality of wild animals forced to live #InOurFilth.
Send your photographs depicting the same to [email protected]!
In Uttarakhand, scientists have discovered plastic and glass in elephant dung
Samples collected from deep within protected areas revealed twice as much plastic as ones from the edges. https://t.co/DLGI2ECPcA
Report by Anusha Krishnan
#Ghostnets are usually abandoned or lost in water bodies and can take up to 600 years to break down, according to a report by @unep. They entangle all sorts of #wildlife, restricting their movement, injuring them, and subsequently causing suffocation. #InOurFilth 💔
The last known freshwater Irrawaddy dolphin has died, apparently after getting tangled in a fishing net.
Cambodia says it was found dead at the Mekong River near the Laos border.
It was listed critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.

“Improperly discarded #waste could have led to the deaths of at least five #Indiangaur in various parts of the #Nilgiris since December last year, sources in the Forest Department told @the_hindu.”

Moving forward the #InOurFilth campaign is going into hibernation for a while. We'll be back in July 2022 with new pictures and stories. Until then, send your images of wildlife #InOurFilth to [email protected] and keep striving for a change.

In #Valparai, #TamilNadu, a lion-tailed #macaque strikes a pose with an empty #PET bottle in his mouth. These #endangered, silver-maned canopy dwellers are endemic to the rainforests of the #WesternGhats. #InOurFilth

Down in the Dumps
A Rusty-cheeked Scimitar Babbler forages in trash piled up behind a clutter of shops in the village of Bhiri, Uttarakhand. #Wastemanagement in the Himalaya is a growing concern! #InOurFilth

Daily Bread, Daily Dread
In the picturesque hill station of #Kodaikanal, a #bonnetmacaque innocently places a discarded bread packet over its head without realising the danger of #suffocation. #InOurFilth

Inhospitable India
A spell of #LittleStints crowd the shoreline of Arnala beach in the Virar suburb of #Mumbai. How does the #trash get here? It’s littered by tourists, dumped by locals and ignored by public authorities. #InOurFilth

Cement Sacks and Flapshells

In this alarming image, from Corbett Tiger Reserve, an oblivious elephant picks up what appears to be an abandoned fishing net. This ghost net most likely found its way down the Ramganga river that passes through Corbett.

Trouble in Tigerland
On a trip to Ranthambore, the photographer spotted a young cub. At first glance it looked like the cub had an Indian Pond Heron clenched in his jaws, on closer observation - the ‘prey’ turned out to be plastic trash.

Unchecked waste disposal torments the hills across India. So many callous tourists behave like the trash that they dispose of. But these hills don't belong to us. Never have. Never will. Yet we make them less of a home for #birds like the Malabar whistling thrush.

#InOurFilth: A wild #tiger cub with a discarded chips packet clenched in its jaws in the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve! Even this heavily regulated Protected Area cannot escape the consequences of humanity's addiction to throw away #plastics. #pollution #trash 📸 Saurabh Sawant
Havelock: where lush forests meet the sea, where human litter mix conspicuously with leaf litter. The sadness that filled my heart was briefly replaced by curiosity when I saw this glass bottle had become the founding site of a #weaverant colony #InOurFilth +
