    Cotton
    production in central Asia has all but eradicated the Aral Sea – a vast area once
    the world’s th largest inland body of water and now reduced to just % of its
    former volume. Appalling mismanagement of this vital water resource – used
    largely for cotton production – by the Soviet authorities and their successors has
    led to the disappearance of the sea’s  species of native fish, the drying out of
    associated wetlands and the creation of thousands of environmental refugees,
    former dependents of the Aral’s riches.
