The northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh is trying to deal with piles of unprocessed rubbish polluting its mountains and rivers. Despite efforts by local NGOs and a recycling plant to convert non-biodegradable waste into energy, minimal improvement has been made on the polluted landscape. An alarming lack of awareness, accountability and strategy from locals and government officials threaten the region's biodiversity and future livelihood.

印度北部的喜马偕尔邦正试图解决大量未经过处理的垃圾,这些垃圾污染了当地的山脉以及河流。尽管当地的一些非政府组织以及一家回收厂正努力将不可生物降解的废物转化为能源,但是污染情况只是得到了最小程度的改善。当地民众以及政府官员缺乏相关意识、问责制度以及环保策略的现状非常引人担忧,这些污染正在威胁该地区的生物多样性以及当地人民未来的生计。
