B
When Malaika Vaz was a kid, living in Goa, India, she was constantly surrounded by nature. Among her childhood experiences, she recalls journeys to the Arctic and Antarctic, climbing mountains, diving, and windsurfing.
At some point in her late teens, Vaz realised adventure didn't really mean anything if there wasn't an intention to protect the natural spaces we were exploring in. Motivated by her passion for film - making, she began to seek a way that would both satisfy her appetite for adventure and allow her to advocate the protection of the species and ecosystems she interacted with.
Today Vaz wears many hats in the film - making world, as a documentary director, producer, and presenter. After falling in love with manta rays (蝠鲼), she discovered they were being hunted illegally and started to dress herself as a seafood trader to get as close as possible to the issue. She traced sellers to figure out why the threatened species were being killed. She shared the shocking details in Peng Yu Sai, her Green Oscar - nominated film on the matter.
The subjects that grab her attention, Vaz admits, run the gamut. When she was asked to define her focus, she replied that she preferred variety. She always argues that the issues she looks into are more interrelated than they may initially appear. “I think that it's exciting to dive into the different aspects of environmental stories,” she says.
Her work doesn't stop at recording important stories; she also ensures the message is heard. From Vaz's viewpoint, real improvement in planetary protection lies in the hands of each of us rather than just those of several environmentalists. “If you're an engineer and you care about the natural world, you can change the kind of construction materials you use. If you're a teacher loving nature, you can bring that into the learning for your class.” she says.
As a film - maker, Vaz believes it's important to figure out ways that attract the audience who can push for the protection of the natural world.
