Today's youth must create a strong relationship with nature, because they will be the future administrators of natural resources of the world.

Without the participation of these young people, the planting of saplings in 2019 could be lost, since maintenance is required for them to grow. Photo: Jorge Rodríguez / Viatori
"These activities allow us to fix what someone else has destroyed," said Victor, for whom these activities are of benefit to people his age. Photo: Jorge Rodríguez/Viatori
Despite the pandemic, this group of scouts continues with their service work, showing their interest in nature. Photo: Jorge Rodríguez / Viatori
Dressed in their masks and social distancing, the new normal does not prevent this group of Guatemalan scouts from continuing their work of service. Photo: Jorge Rodríguez / Viatori
