Southeast Asia is globally renowned for its magnificent seascapes that have been supporting its people’s livelihoods, well-being and sense of identity for centuries. But as the region now grapples with the climate crisis to plastic pollution and overexploitation, the question must be asked: For how much longer can its precious marine resources hold on?
In this episode, originally live-streamed in June 2022 in collaboration with the Youth in Landscapes Initiative, we speak with two young environmental activists from the region, Hidayah Hadid and Andhyta Firselly Utami, to learn about their hopes and ambitions for protecting, restoring and bringing the Pacific Ocean back to health. Joining us as guest host is 2021 GLF Restoration Steward Frances Camille Rivera.
