Miss Earth 2014: Miss Tahiti Hereata Ellard

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

My main concern is the ocean, as we are surrounded by it.

We need to keep it clean and protect it for future generations.

Polynesians lived for thousands of years depending on the ocean, not only for travel but for its rich food source.

The beauty of it draws tourists from all over the world to our white sand beaches and blue lagoons, as tourism is the number one driver of our economy.

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

Colleges say the Trump administration is using new tactics to expel international students
A crackdown on foreign students is alarming colleges, who say the Trump administration is using new tactics and vague justifications to push some students out of the country. Students stripped of their entry visas are receiving orders from the Department of Homeland Security to leave the country immediately — a break from past practice that often permitted them to stay and complete their studies. At Minnesota State University in Mankato, President Edward Inch told the campus Wednesday that visas had been revoked for five international students for unclear reasons.
