Miss Earth 2014: Miss Gabon Hulda Ondo

What is your environmental advocacy and why did you choose this?

My advocacy is the protection of fauna and flora. I chose this theme because Gabon is a forest country (22 million hectares of forest, our farmland, our 800 km of sea coast) where the fauna and flora are still well-preserved and protected. For instance, our national park is a Unesco World Heritage Site.

What tip can you share to promote this year's theme, Eco Tourism?

Eco tourism and nature tourism is a form of sustainable tourism. It is also one of the sectors that has the highest rate of development in the world, unlike mass tourism. I want to put more focus on the discovery of nature and valuing ecosystem. Eco tourism should promote biodiversity and its functions. African States should make a stand to counteract global warming of the planet.
