Questions & Answers about watashitachi wa mirai no kodomotachi no tame ni shigen o mamorimasu.

What is the function of the particle は in 私たち は 未来の子供たちのために資源を守ります?

は is the topic-marker. It tells us that 私たち (“we”) is what the sentence is about. Literally, you could think of it as “As for us, (we) will protect resources...”

Why are there two の particles in 未来 の 子供たち の ために?

They’re both the genitive (possessive/attributive) の, but linking different pairs:
1) 未来 の 子供たち = “children of the future” (未来 modifies 子供たち)
2) 子供たち の ために = “for the sake of the children” (子供たち modifies ため)

What does ために mean, and why is it used here?

ために means “for the sake of” or “in order to.” When you attach ために to a noun (in this case 子供たちの), it expresses purpose or benefit: “for the sake of future children.”

Why is を used before 守ります?

を marks the direct object of a transitive verb. Here, 資源 (“resources”) is what is being protected, so we say 資源 を 守ります: “(We) protect resources.”

What role does the suffix たち play in 私たち and 子供たち?
