A new queen of the Earth has been crowned — and her story is one of intelligence, compassion, and commitment to the planet. Natálie Puškinová, representing the Czech Republic, was crowned Miss Earth 2025 during the 25th anniversary edition of the pageant held at Okada Manila.

Beyond her striking beauty, Puškinová embodies what Miss Earth stands for: advocacy, awareness, and action toward a more sustainable world.

A heart for the planet

At just 22, Puškinová is already making waves in both environmental and educational circles. A Marketing and PR student at Charles University in Prague, she merges her academic background with her passion for environmental communication.

Her advocacy focuses on sustainability education — helping people understand that small, mindful choices can lead to meaningful environmental change.

Her initiative, “From Plate to Planet,” tackles one of today’s most overlooked global issues: food waste. The project aims to reduce the environmental impact of discarded food through community campaigns and educational programs that connect consumption habits with planetary health.

Diving deeper — literally

A certified scuba diver, Puškinová has developed a deep connection with the ocean. Her underwater experiences exposed her to the fragility of marine ecosystems and the urgent need for conservation.

She often speaks about the emotional impact of witnessing coral bleaching and marine pollution firsthand — moments that fueled her commitment to ocean protection. Through diving and outreach work, she encourages others to appreciate marine life and understand how daily actions — from plastic use to food waste — affect the waters that sustain life on Earth.

Inspiring the next generation

Beyond her personal advocacy, Puškinová leads the Mini Academy, a youth-driven project under the EU Solidarity Corps. The program offers interactive workshops that teach sustainability, empathy, and environmental leadership. Her goal is to inspire young people to act locally while thinking globally — fostering communities where eco-consciousness becomes a way of life.

A queen with purpose

As Miss Earth 2025, Puškinová steps into a global role that blends influence with responsibility. She represents not only her country but also a movement that calls for collective climate action.

Through her platforms, she aims to amplify the message that sustainability begins at home — through daily choices and mindful living.

A new era for Miss Earth

Puškinová’s reign marks a milestone for Miss Earth — its 25th anniversary, themed “The Silver Lining.” Her win underscores how beauty pageants have evolved into platforms of purpose, where advocacy and intellect shine alongside crowns and gowns.

With her academic insight, environmental passion, and authenticity, Natálie Puškinová stands as more than a beauty queen — she is a changemaker, educator, and environmental storyteller leading the movement for a greener, kinder world.
