| local.seafdecaqd.extract | Citing figures from the United Nations Environment Program, biodiversity experts said that worldwide, one million seabirds and over 100,000 marine animals die from plastic pollution every year. The ASEAN Center for Biodiversity (ACB) said that to help address the issue of plastic pollution, they launched a campaign dubbed “Oceans Are Fitter without Our Litter.” “This campaign complements the commitment of the ASEAN member states to the Bangkok Declaration Combating Marine Debris in the ASEAN region. Each nation works toward the reduction and prevention of marine debris. These actions are critical as plastic pollution is a serious threat to biodiversity,” said ACB executive director Theresa Mundita Lim. | en |
