Miss Earth 2014: Miss Peru Elba Fahsbender Merino

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

My project is basically focused on environmental education and information of school children so they can illustrate to the adults how to preserve our environment. We have chosen to work in the area of Madre de Dios (Peru Jungle) Tambopata, an area protected by the Peruvian government, because it’s considered the green lungs of the Amazon.

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

The best way to promote eco tourism is to have real awareness of what it means and be committed to care, protect, and promote thru various media our landscapes and natural resources.
