We asked a few of our ADEX Ambassadors to speak about conservation issues that are dear to their hearts.
“Plastic pollution is a global problem and every citizen of the Earth should be concerned with this issue. Today, there are so many mediums we can use to instigate change. Be it through the sharing of pictures and videos, joining environmental support groups and non-profit organisations, or reducing our plastic use – our small actions accumulate to big change. By saving the environment, we save ourselves.” – DouDou, ADEX Ambassador for Marine Conservation
Saving Turtle Cove
By: Sharon Kwok, ADEX Ocean Ambassador 2015–2016
I was born in Hong Kong, a unique island that used to be a glorious fishing port until the recent fisheries collapse. In January 2013, trawling was banned and since then, we have noticed a rebound in some species. But much more needs to be done in order to protect the local cetaceans and sea turtles that migrate through our waters.
