Inspirational and wonderful work from the Brazilian couple

-

 A wonderful, creative and very impressive work by Brazilian couple – photographer Sebastião Salgado and his wife Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado – have spent 20 years replanting a destroyed forest.

In the early 1990s Salgado was stationed to cover the horrific accounts of Rwanda genocide, in 1994 he returned to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil and found that the green forest he used to live in had become a wasteland for miles and miles only about 0.5% of the land was covered in trees. Then his wife had a fabulous idea to replant this forest. And when they  began to do that, then all the insects and birds and fish returned.

Together, Sebastião and Lélia founded Instituto Terra, a small organization that has since planted 4 million saplings and has brought the forest back from the dead.

The couple succeeded in planting two million trees in 20 years, in all, some 172 bird species have returned, as well as 33 species of mammals, 293 species of plants, 15 species of reptiles and 15 species of amphibians, an entire ecosystem rebuilt from scratch.
