Nature in times of corona

The first victim of corona litter in the Netherlands. A young perch, caught in the thumb of a corona glove, found during a clean-up here in the Oude Vest in Leiden. The base of the thumb is torn open, probably as a result of a brief struggle. A perch has large spines on its back, so swimming backwards is not an option. Being more careful with your waste is.

The perch went global. It made CNN, was picked up by The Guardian and posted by National Geographic. Still in its glove, it is exhibited above the canal in which it was found. It is one of the stories from the exhibition 'Nature in times of corona'.
