PUERTO PRINCESA, PHILIPPINES: Filipino volunteers plant mangrove saplings during the annual Valentine's Day mass planting, dubbed a "love affair with nature", along the Puerto Princesa coastal area officiated by the city's Mayor Edward Hagedorn, 14 February 2007, in the capital of the western Philippine island of Palawan. The city has maintained its aggressive environmental campaign to attract tourists and maintain ecological balance. The mangroves serve as nurseries and habitats for small fish and anchors the fragile soil on the shore to prevent erosion.
