The image featuring my post today is "The Plastic Garbage Elephant" a creation by the well known sculptor and artist Lalith Senanayaka in my country Sri Lanka. This creation had been selected by the national geographic magazine for a children's almanac along with other top artistic creations. This garbage elephant had been mounted on the beach of Uswetakaiyawa in the down south of our country and much admired by visitors both local and foreign. Still there are people who have the vandalistic behaviours and drug addicts and they have demolished the creation and robbed the iron frame or the structure much to the dismay of the admirers , the national news paper "maubima" has reported today.
Ours is a country where there are a lot of elephants roaming in the jungles. With the deforestation for agriculture and housing schemes , when the habitats of wild elephants are fast decreasing , the elephants break into the villages and demolish crop fields of the farmers and sometimes kill innocent people. Due to scarcity of food, elephants even have used to feed on garbage dumps. Therefore there's a big need to manage this issue that every government so far has failed to give a lasting solution.
