Child workers collect dry leather in front of a tannery at the Hazaribagh area in Dhaka June 24, 2009. Bangladesh's High Court has ordered the closure of all tanneries and factories across the country if they fail to install effluent treatment plants by 2010 to halt massive pollution of the environment.
