People Protect What They Love
Both de Vos and Cericho have as their career and their passion the preservation and protection of the oceans and of our planet. It’s true what French Naval Officer Jacques-Yves Cousteau said: “People protect what they love.” We believe that diving in and exploring the ocean for yourself is one of the finest things you can do to protect the ocean. You’re likely to fall in love with something about the amazing undersea environment. Additionally, you may always visit a lake, river, or any other body of water if you find yourself landlocked and close to an ocean. Furthermore, there are several, hugely popular programs and organizations, such as TED Talks, National Geographic, Oceana, and many others, that provide venues for self-education.
What Else Makes Asha de Vos’s Sighting So Significant?
Asha de Vos also firmly believes that knowledge and love are correlated; the more we know, the more we will cherish and defend. “The discovery of this whale in Sri Lanka’s waters just serves as a reminder that we live in an incredible world where exploration and discovery are still possible,” de Vos said to TED Fellows. She sincerely takes pride in her nation and its animals, so her finding was more than simply something impressive to add to her portfolio. She appreciates that this discovery adds to the wide variety of species that may be found in her stunning nation.
