With its clear, blue waters, beaches of white sand and colourful coral reefs, the Maldives is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on earth. Yet Thilafushi, one of the 1192 coral islands that make up the Maldives, is anything but beautiful. In fact, it’s a municipal landfill designed specifically as a dumping ground for the island nation’s waste. Situated seven kilometres to the west of capital Malé, Thilafushi was originally a lagoon comprised of shallow coral reefs until 1992 when the Maldivian government decided upon a reclamation project that would serve to resolve Maldives’ urgent waste management problem. Soon Thilafushi became known by locals as Rubbish Island, with ships bringing 330 tonnes of refuse daily where, after minimal sifting and separation by migrant workers, the majority of it is buried at landfill sites. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: “Most Beautiful Canal Cities In The World 2017 HD“ -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
