Spare the tiger reserves. Plastics are entering to the food chain of the apex predators in the least expected areas covering less than 2.25% of our total geographic area. Be responsible pic.twitter.com/MpSUcwr3x2

Ban Plastic!

Looks like some of the visitors to park have thrown trash around. This should be strictly banned and people doing such things should be penalised including the driver and guide.

Pity!

We have not spared Ocean depths, Forests, Mountains and even Mount Everest of the trash & plastics. Pity

Solution!

Only solution that comes to mind is strict vigilance & checking of tourists, passers-by where plastic is not allowed near such reserves. Else, leaving it to people is not going to work.
