An Indian islander has been planting trees for 35 years, turning 550 hectares of deserted island into a forest

In northeastern India, there is an island called Majuli. Since 1900, the land quality of Majuli Island has deteriorated due to the impact of climate change. Monsoons have caused a large amount of high-quality soil to be lost, and it has slowly turned into a barren wasteland. As a result, the island's wildlife has also slowly disappeared.

In order to protect the land and the wildlife on the island, a 16-year-old islander named Jadav Payeng decided to plant trees on the island to protect Majuli Island. Payeng has been planting trees since he planted his first tree in 1979. Now he has been planting trees for 35 years, turning the formerly barren Majuli Island into a lush forest, which has also become a home for endangered wildlife. The island's forest area now reaches 550 hectares, exceeding the area of ​​Central Park. While planting trees becomes easier because the forest provides him with seeds, maintaining the forest becomes increasingly difficult because some of the land is used for harvesting sowing and as habitat for animals. But despite the difficulties, Payeng said: "I will continue until my last breath."

Yes, Payeng can stick to one thing for 35 years, which is indeed admirable, but he also advocates that we should protect the environment.
