Vietnam battles plastic blight in idyllic Ha Long Bay
Vu Thi Thinh, a trash picker in Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay, spends her days collecting polystyrene blocks, plastic bottles, and other debris from the water.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site has been heavily impacted by human waste, with conservationists expressing concerns about the degradation of the ecosystem.
Despite the challenges, Thinh and others continue their work to clean up the bay.
