Now that this island is known some moron will come along and clearcut it and reduce the trees to charcoal.

Apparently, Jadav routinely has to chase poachers and loggers out of the forest.

We don’t need to work together to plant trees. I’ve planted plenty of trees all by my lonesome.

Yeah! I recently found a subreddit (www.reddit.com/r/upliftingnews), which has some great stuff like this come through. It is a nice change of pace in this unraveling world.

“the wasteland where lush forest had once stood”

Well, the forest isn’t going to survive without continued assistance. Maybe not even then- rivers are insistent beings.

A fine story none-the-less.

Reminds me of this story, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Planted_Trees, which moved me deeply as a child.

Better yet, this Indian's story --- unlike the French book I cited --- is true. How inspiring!
