2Commendable Teamwork
The two commendably led a small group of passionate and dedicated people to halt deforestation and push for the process of reforestation. The team made sure that the trees they planted were also native to their land to restore the forest’s former distinct beauty.
It took a good small team and the courage to achieve their goals. Fortunately, things turned out remarkably successful in 20 years’ time. The forest is now back to its old glory and the wildlife has returned. Now, the cacophony of birdcalls and insects buzzing are already present in the place.
In the latest record, an estimated 172 bird species have returned, 33 species of mammals, 293 species of plants, 15 species of reptiles and 15 species of amphibians. The presence of wildlife and healthy trees again has rebuilt the ecosystem.
“Nature is the earth and it is other beings and if we don’t have some kind of spiritual return to our planet, I fear that we will be compromised,” the Salgado said.
“We need to listen to the words of the people on the land,” Salgado added.
