Young botanist Aanya joins Koen’s team of conservation-minded teens at Marshlock Wetlands, armed with water-quality kits, seed packets, and GPS trackers. From testing pH levels in frog pools to tagging playful otters, they learn how cattails and duckweed filter pollutants, how wetlands buffer floods, and why each dragonfly larva matters. When an invasive vine threatens the fragile ecosystem, Aanya leads villagers in a hands-on restoration campaign. Through seasons of storms and migrations, the Guardians map every frog call and bird flight in a shared digital atlas—demonstrating that curious minds and caring hands can protect precious wetlands for all time.
