These harrowing images show elephants foraging for food on a huge pile of garbage.

They were taken in Sri Lanka by Tharmaplan Tilaxan, a Jaffna-based photographer.

He has observed the open waste dump amidst the jungles of the Eastern province for many months.

He says: "elephants normally travel over 30km per day and seed up to 3,500 new trees a day".
