Leyla Aliyeva highlighted that the exhibition showcases the beauty of the planet and the challenges it faces through the eyes of children. "Their perspectives are filled with compassion, understanding, and sensitivity. I believe that we all have an innate desire to protect nature.

They are the ones who truly know how to live in the moment,” she stated.
