Inspiring Couple

Sebastiao Salgado and Lelia Deluiz

I thought it would be time for some good news, something inspiring and hopeful.  I recently read about a Brazilian man and his wife who planted over 4 million trees to replant 1,502 acres of forest!  It was so good to hear about someone doing beneficial for the planet, instead of destroying it.  It took Sebastiao Salgado, Lelia Deluiz, and more than 24 workers about twenty years to do so and the results have been amazing.  An area which was barren is now flourishing with 172 species of birds, 33 species of mammals, 293 species of plants, 15 reptile species and 15 reptile species.  And there are now 8 natural springs which had previously dried up, hydrating a drought prone area.  When humans work with Mother Nature, creation and rejuvenation spring eternal.
