University students plant mangrove trees along the Jakarta bay November 21, 2009. They will attempt to plant nine million mangrove trees over the next few months, as part of a community service organised by a local television station. Mangrove swamps are expected to help Indonesia's coastal communities fend off rising seas and stronger tropical storms, climate change experts say. REUTERS/Supri (INDONESIA)
