With her celebrity status, Miss Indonesia 2005 Nadine Chandrawinata
could become a messenger or ambassador for any cause she wants.
But the 24-year-old actress and model said she wanted to be an ambassador for coral reefs because she is a ocean lover.
“I have some kind of connection with the sea. If I fall in love or if
I’m feeling blue, I will go to the sea. The sea also gives me
inspiration and ideas. So I think I have to do something for the sea,”
Nadine told The Jakarta Post on the sidelines of a national meeting on
coral reefs in Jakarta on Wednesday evening.
Her concerns for sea conservation has seen the international
environmental organization, the World Wildlife Fund, choose her as its
ambassador for marine conservation. Wakatobi regency in Southeast
Sulawesi province has also chosen Nadine, who is a certified diver, as
its eco-tourism ambassador.
