Overhauling Trash Island, the Maldives’ mountain of waste | Video

06:35 Min

Since 1992, everything that the Maldives has consumed and discarded has been dumped into a lagoon at Thilafushi, creating a mountain of trash that was burning in the open until the fires were extinguished in September 2021. It has been a source of national shame but now, the government wants to address past mistakes.
