"People can use creativity and careful teamwork to protect and preserve important parts of our world—art, nature, and history."

exhibition

"When you change the shoulders or the skirt, you change the outfit’s silhouette and how it looks from far away."

"Scientists are restoring coral reefs by helping new coral grow and by clearing away algae that smothers the reef."
