Environmental authorities in India are on alert after thousands of litres of oil spilled into a nature reserve in neighbouring Bangladesh. Conservation chief Pradeep Vyas said ""precautions"" were being taken in West Bengal's coastal region. Oil leaked into waterways in the Sundarbans area after a collision involving a tanker three days ago. Officials say it is already harming the region's wildlife, which includes two endangered dolphin species. Well illustrated. Image: AFP/World Conservation Society
