After attending the Youth Summit for the UN Ocean Decade 2020 (YS2020UNOD) my perspective changed because I never really had considered or thought about Indigenous culture and their major contributions to the field of science and innovation. I really enjoyed learning from Olilai’s comprehensive explanation of the Indigenous culture in Palau and would love to learn more too!
As a youth leader, attending Heirs To Our Ocean’s YS2020UNOD was my most enjoyable online conference and by far the most international connections I’ve made!
