Chou has teamed up with WildAid in a year when Asia has seen record numbers of pangolin seizures and a new United Nations report has highlighted devastating losses to biodiversity.
The report found that 32 million hectares of primary forest were lost between 2010 and 2015, half of all coral reefs are now dead, and the number of native species in land and water around the world has declined by one-fifth in little more than a century.
One species that embodies the challenges in protecting marine ecosystems is the sea turtle. Found throughout the world's oceans, sea turtle populations are in rapid decline due to habitat loss, climate change, overfishing, and illegal trade in sea turtle eggs, meat and shells.
