Russian Troops Strike Dnipro with Drones - Ukraine
Glass shards and soil cover cars outside an apartment block damaged by a Russian drone attack, Dnipro, Ukraine, November 23, 2025. Overnight, Russian forces launched a large-scale attack on the city, igniting balconies of a nine-storey residential building and damaging the premises of a private house. Six cars were also damaged in the strike. Fifteen people required medical assistance. Three remain hospitalised: women aged 52 and 64, and a 48-year-old man. One suffers from poisoning caused by combustion products, while the others sustained head injuries and lacerations. Doctors describe their condition as moderate. The remaining victims, including an 11-year-old girl, are recovering at home. Photo by Mykola Miakshykov/Ukrinform/ABACAPRESS.COM (FOTO: DUKAS/ABACA)

Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh
October 2, 2025, Dhaka, Bangladesh: The rivers and canals around Dhaka were once vital sanctuaries of biodiversity. Countless fish swam in their waters, serving as the main food source for fish-eating birds. But now that scene belongs to the past. What was once clear water is now occupied by heaps of garbage. Plastic, polythene, industrial waste, and household trash have severely polluted the water. Faced with a food crisis, fish-eating egrets are being forced to search for food in these piles of waste.

'Live sick or flee': pollution fears for El Salvador's rivers as mining ban lifted
The landmark prohibition on mining in 2017, a world first, has been reversed by authoritarian leader Nayib Bukele but the move has met fierce resistance from environmentalists.
On 23 December, its congress voted to overturn the ban on metals mining, a move championed by the hardline president, Nayib Bukele, who is prioritising economic growth over environmental concerns.

'We empower ourselves': the women cleaning up Bolivia’s Lake Uru Uru
Once clean enough to drink, the Andean lake was poisoned by mining pollution and urban waste. But now Indigenous women are using giant reeds to revive the vital ecosystem.
Fed up with the ever-increasing pollution, the sisters Tatiana and Dayana Blanco and other young women formed the Uru Uru Team in 2019.
The first step was to clean the water. Their forebears used totora and so they decided to do the same. As well as being used to build floating platforms and houses, totora is important for treating sewage and mining wastewater as it traps minerals in its roots, leaves and stems.
Dayana and Tatiana Blanco members of the Team Uru Uru - a group of young indigenous women who came together to clean up Lago Uru Uru [Lake Uru Uru], Bolivia. Mining and plastic waste is dumped there. The waters are contaminated but the women create rafts out of plastic waste and plant totoro on them to clean the water.

How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution
Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.
The Chao Phraya River is the largest waterway flowing through central Thailand.
In Bangkok, it is an artery for a network of water buses, ferries and wooden long-tail boats. But it's not just carrying people. According to research by the Rotterdam-based non-profit organisation Ocean Cleanup, the Chao Praya River carries 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste to the sea every year.
Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, walks through Wat Chak Daeng on July 30, 2024 in Bangkok. The HIPPO project by Seven Clean Seas, in collaboration with Wat Chak Daeng temple, uses a solar-powered vessel to collect plastic waste from Bangkok's Chao Phraya River and recycles it to reduce environmental pollution. Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, leads a project at Wat Chak Daeng that turns plastic waste into monk robes, upcycling around 40 tons of plastic since 2015 and serving as a model for environmental conservation.
