Large group of people, mostly children and some adults, gathered outdoors under cloudy skies near mangroves and a wooden structure, possibly for a community event or environmental activity.

These are the  Eco-Teens of Museo Sang Bata Sa Negros , and in front of them are mangrove seedlings ready to plant. All around the world today there are mangrove plantings going on–the trees from a crucial barrier between sea and land all across the tropics, especially in a moment of rising seas.

Volunteers from Museo Sang Bata Sa Negros wade through shallow water, crossing a river on their way to a mangrove planting area. The group works together on this environmental conservation activity.
