Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh

October 02, 2025, Dhaka, Bangladesh: The rivers and canals around Dhaka were once vital sanctuaries of biodiversity. Countless fish swam in their waters, serving as the main food source for fish-eating birds. But now that scene belongs to the past. What was once clear water is now occupied by heaps of garbage. Plastic, polythene, industrial waste, and household trash have severely polluted the water. Faced with a food crisis, fish-eating egrets are being forced to search for food in these piles of waste. Their natural food—fish—is no longer easily available, compelling them to look for alternatives. In Bangladesh, the filling up of rivers and wetlands, illegal encroachment, and plastic pollution together are pushing aquatic ecosystems towards destruction. These wetlands once provided shelter to thousands of native and migratory birds. But in recent years, their numbers have sharply declined. From the haors to Dhaka’s Turag and Balu rivers and other wetlands, the picture is the same: encroachment, landfilling,

Preserving Tradition And Innovating Duck Culture - Bejing

B Customers look at cultural creative products of Quanjude at one of its experience stores on the Qianmen Street in Beijing, capital of China, March 25, 2025. Peking Duck, a representative cuisine of Beijing, has won popularity across the world for its golden, crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat.

During the roasting procedure, Quanjude uses wood from hard fruit trees and open fire to get a bet

Originated in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), the Shabu Kilns are considered as transitional kilns during the development of southern celadon industry from Yue Kilns to Longquan Kilns. Xie Zhenwei, a young porcelain artisan and a native of Shabu Township, has been making efforts to reproduce the celadon wares in the style of Shabu Kilns, which is characterized by exquisite carved patterns. To achieve his goal, Xie learned techniques from Yue Kilns and Longquan Kilns and kept using local materials. At present, Xie has successfully made celadon wares like censer, jug and powder boxes, in the style of Shabu Kilns. He also set up a workshop to display the culture of this art.

The Marsh Arabs - Iraq

Buffalo herders look after their herd in the Chibayesh marshland in Iraq's southern Ahwar area of Dhi Qar on January 22, 2021. The Mesopotamian Marshes are located in southern Iraq, in the basin of the two mythical rivers of the Middle East: the Euphrates and the Tigris. The region is considered one of the cradles of civilization and, according to legend, even hosted the Gardens of Eden. The Marsh Arabs, also called Maadans, are an ancient community. It is estimated that they have occupied the marshes for almost 5,000 years. Between 1991 and 2003, the former dictator Saddam Hussein completely dried up the area because he believed it harbored his opponents. When he fell, the Maadans returned and tore down the dikes and dams he had built. The marshes have then almost returned to their original state. But in recent years, global warming and dams built upstream of the two rivers in Turkey have once again put the marshes in danger. Photo by Aline Deschamps/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
