She is speaking the wrong language. She should be speaking chinese and Indonesian dialects. Parrotfish and others are aggressively hunted. Chinese boats go into protected waters and reefs. Chinese ships now dump dirt on reefs, call it an island and claim fishing for 10 miles around it. But she is speaking to people that aleady try to protect the fishing not the ones causing the problem. I guess we could nuke china.

Everyone needs to hear talks like this and learn the harsh reality of our environmental status. I’m not judging but logically people should be very hesitant to have children. What kind of future will they have? Our resources are limited but most of the world’s population keeps increasing. Most people are not vegan or vegetarian. Most people don’t know, aren’t able to or don’t care to be eco-conscious/friendly. I want to be positive but the future seems pretty bleak to me.
