IFS Officer Susanta Nanda recently shared a distressing video on social media, shedding light on the devastating impact of plastic pollution in forests. The clip, which has since gone viral, captures a heart-wrenching scene where deer and cows feed on garbage—mostly plastic—dumped along a roadside inside a forest.

Sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter), Nanda wrote, “Only we humans make waste that nature is forced to digest,” emphasizing how human negligence has contaminated natural habitats, putting wildlife at risk.

This video surfaced amidst reports of a tragic incident near Vandalur Reserve Forest in Tamil Nadu, where a deer reportedly died after consuming discarded plastic waste. While it is unclear if Nanda’s footage is linked to the same case, the distressing visuals highlight a widespread environmental crisis.

Shocking Scenes of Wildlife Amidst Litter

The video opens with deer and cows rummaging through plastic waste scattered in a forested area. As the person filming uses a flashlight, startled deer flee the scene, but cows remain, continuing to consume hazardous plastic bags and bottles. The sheer volume of garbage underscores the reckless human intrusion into wildlife habitats.

Netizens Express Concern

The viral clip has sparked outrage among netizens, who condemned the careless disposal of plastic waste. Many users called for stricter regulations to prevent littering in forest zones. Some suggested strict checks on safari vehicles to ensure no food or plastic is carried into protected areas.

The video serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for better waste management and conservation efforts to safeguard India’s forests and wildlife.
