their roots desperately grasping at the vanishing land prompts

"A highly detailed 4K painting in the style of Leonardo da Vinci, depicting a mangrove swamp in Bayelsa, Nigeria, suffering from severe environmental degradation. The once-thriving shores are now eroded, with palm trees halfway submerged in rising sea levels, their roots desperately grasping at the vanishing land. The village is desolate and abandoned, with crumbling wooden huts overtaken by the encroaching waters. In the foreground, local men with weathered faces and tattered clothing navigate narrow wooden canoes, casting their fishing nets into the murky, oil-slicked waters. The sky is heavy with an eerie, overcast glow, and the scene is filled with intricate, Renaissance-style shading and depth, capturing the haunting beauty of loss and resilience in the face of environmental collapse.
