Malaika Vaz- People who endeavoured to better the environment Youth in every domain of life bring a new perspective to the outlying issues, concerns etc. and creating waves. Environment being one such domain where youth endeavour has a substantial impact on peoples perspective. We are all aware of a popular example to support my cause on this, Greta Thunberg. Similarly, a young environmentalist, from Goa, India, has had some interesting endeavours. Malaika Vaz, a young 22-year old environmentalist, filmmaker and conservationist, she is a recipient of the National Geographic Roar Talent bursary award. Her vision is to use her talent in filmmaking to reach out to the masses about important environmental concerns. Malaika is the youngest to go on Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. She has any accolades to her name for her work in the environmental field. She has been recognised several times for her contribution at such a young age. Of her many endeavours, she had started a Leave no Trace campaign in Goa. Having grown up in Goa, she had been eager to explore and protect the Marine ecosystem. With her encounter with the plastic pollution at Goan beaches, her campaign aimed to reduce plastic pollution in the area, and so it did. [1] Malaika and her passion for filmmaking has led to her mixing both environmental issues and filmmaking together. She has done projects like “Living with Predators”, based on how Asiatic lions, leopards and tigers in India have been protected by tribal communities. Vaz has also created a series on the lesser known species that are endangered on the show “On the Brink”. [2] She believe that filmmaking can help bring environmental stories into spotlight and wishes to continue doing so. Her experiences with traveling across the globe through various ecosystems keeps her passion alive. Vaz has investigated the wildlife illegal trade accrues South East Asia, focussing on dive deep into the Indo-Burmese border pipeline that ends up at a market in Guangzhou, China. [3] Malaika has truly worked hard to fight for causes she believe to turn around. She believes that more young people should be encouraged for their environmental endeavours and change the world to a better place. Her work is inspiring and educative for the young generation.

Hello Ishitwa, this is mentor Taehyun.
Thank you for a report about Malaika Vaz! It is amazing to know that young environmentalists like her are activating now, and they are making a great impact on our world. In Malaika Vaz's case, she made a movie to let people know about the serious fact of endangered animals or other serious environmental problems. I watched that TED video clip that you suggested at the bottom, and it was touching as you said.
Thank you for the great report!
Green cheers!

Hi Ishitwa, this is a mentor, Sang Su Lee.
I guess in the world there are a myriad of young stars who keep the environment healthy. I am glad that with their efforts, the earth can stay blue and green as it is. Marine ecosystem has never experienced this much detrimental affects by plastic wastes. Plastic takes so many years to be decomposed and during this process, microplastic is produced and eaten by marine animals. It is indeed a serious problem to confront...
Well done on your research~
