Miss Australia was named Miss Earth 2024 at the just-ended event in the Philippines.

Namibia's representative, Albertina Haimbala, was also part of the last 12 finalists.

A beaming Haimbala was among 78 beauties vying for the title under the theme "Heritage."

The first runner-up of Miss Namibia 2023, Albertina Haimbala, will represent the country at the Miss Earth 2024 International Beauty Pageant instead of at the Miss World Beauty Festival.
