Featured Article: “The effects of COVID-19 litter on animal life”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is massively used, resulting in a new wave of litter: protective face masks and gloves. This article presents the first case of a fish entrapped in a medical glove, encountered during a canal clean-up in Leiden, The Netherlands. It also reports the first cases of birds using medical face masks as nesting material, which were also found in the Dutch canals.
