Eco-events in Singapore

This traveling exhibition, currently in Singapore, addresses the critical issue of global plastic pollution through the means of photographs and videos.

That’s not all – Look out for parallel online conversations with National Geographic explorers and conservationists/experts that deep dive into the subject.
