The countdown to Miss Earth 2024 Coronation Night is officially on! The world will witness a spectacular event tonight as each contestant brings beauty, advocacy, and purpose to the stage at Cove Manila, Okada Manila. Representing Australia is Jessica Lane, a 21-year-old environmental advocate from Queensland whose passion for sustainability and dedication to our planet make her a remarkable contender for the Miss Earth crown.
Jessica’s journey has been rooted in a lifelong love for the environment. Growing up surrounded by nature, she was inspired by her artistic grandparents and guided by parents who fostered her ethical awareness. Her father’s marine wildlife experiences and her mother’s influence on sustainable practices sparked Jessica’s devotion to environmental protection. Jessica’s activism began when she was just 11 years old. She joined The Body Shop at Australia Zoo to campaign against animal testing, and by 15, she was back at the zoo, working alongside animal handlers to support wildlife conservation.
Currently studying Journalism, Creative Writing, and Publishing, Jessica believes storytelling has the power to inspire environmental change. Her academic journey revealed the ecological impact of fast fashion, motivating her to advocate for sustainable fashion. As a model, she is dedicated to promoting slow fashion and showcasing how sustainability can be woven into everyday choices.
With her deep-rooted commitment to the planet and her poised presence, Jessica Lane embodies the values Miss Earth represents. StarCentral Magazine stands behind her tonight, cheering on Australia’s advocate for a greener, more sustainable world!
Watch the Miss Earth 2024 Coronation Night live tonight at 7 PM on Miss Earth’s Facebook and YouTube channels, Aliw Channel 23, and QBN TV. A delayed telecast will air on ABS CBN Channel on November 10 at 10 AM. Join the excitement and support Jessica as she aims to bring the Miss Earth crown home to Australia!
