What does Cáceres recommend to young people who want to be environmental leaders?
«The first tip for other young people to become environmental leaders is to take care of each other and listen to each other, not just talk, we have to value what other young people say and really realize that the ocean needs a strong defense. We can’t be satisfied with small changes, we need a strong reform in our ocean» Daniel commented to The Oxygen Project.
