Miss Earth 2014: Miss St. Lucia Francillia Austin

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

My environmetal advocacy  is the preservation of biodiversity. I chose this because of [how] extremely dependent we are on it. Biodiversity is responsible for the majority of resources that are vital to us such as fresh air, clean water, food, medication, clothing, and shelter.

The preservation of biodiversity is important more so because tourism. St. Lucia’s greatest economic contributor relies on its aesthetics, provision of food and beverage, as well as tour and excursion opportunities.

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

Launch campaigns to educate people of the eco-tours available and the benefits to the country.
