Dhaka, Bangladesh. 08th Apr, 2017. A Bangladeshi labor works at a tannery in Dhaka on April 8, 2017. A historic leatherworking quarter in Bangladesh once labeled among the most polluted places on earth was shut by court order on April 6 in a landmark ruling to protect a vital waterway. Conservationists have been fighting for years to close the century-old tannery district in the capital Dhaka, which pumps thousands of liters of toxic waste directly into the city's most important river on a daily basis.
