This Tiger’s Action Calls For Our Urgent Attention To Plastic Pollution

The video from Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra, where a tiger picked up a plastic bottle, underscores the urgent need to combat plastic pollution. Instances like a cow with 60 kg of plastic in its stomach in Kota and elephants in Tamil Nadu ingesting polythene bags reveal the widespread impact. Globally, 1 million sea birds and 100,000 sea mammals die annually due to plastic, with India producing 9.3 million tonnes annually, ranking fourth in Plastic Mismanaged Waste Index.
