This is my new hero!
To date, Jadav has planted over 1,360 acres of forest on his own. Demonstrating a keen understanding of ecological balance, Payeng even transplanted ants to his burgeoning ecosystem to bolster its natural harmony. Before long, the shade-less sandbar was transformed into a self-functioning environment where a menagerie of creatures could dwell. The lush forest, now called the Molai woods, presently serves as a safe haven for numerous birds, deer, rhinos, tigers, and elephants – species increasingly at risk from habitat loss.
Interestingly enough, despite the conspicuousness of the project, forest officials only recently became aware of the new forest in 2008.
While his efforts may have not received the amount of recognition they so deserve, Payeng’s example importantly shines as inspiration for all who at any time have more opportunity than they might think to powerfully impact the world.
