Yemen war turns nature reserve back into waste dump

Aden (AFP) March 17, 2022

Yemen’s Al-Heswa nature reserve was once hailed as a beacon of conservation efforts by the United Nations, but civil war has turned it into a rubbish-strewn wasteland reeking of sewage.

The ticket office has been abandoned at the entrance to the 19-hectare (47-acre) site in Yemen’s southern city of Aden, where trees have been cut down and construction waste dumped.
