The difference between the deforested forest in the 1990s and the revived one in 2019 is quite remarkable.

The couple started the plan between the two of them and later on stretched their efforts together with their newly-founded organization called Instituto Terra. The small organization has since planted 4 million saplings, and guess what? The team has significantly brought the forest back from the dead.

The realization of the project has already inspired millions. It is a visible example that mankind has the power to turn a lifeless forest into something beautiful and thriving again.

The forests hold more than three-quarters of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Moreover, it has so much more to give for the socio-economic development of the community. The forests are crucially important for hundreds of millions of people around the globe, especially those living in remote areas. Hence, there is no way to just disregard this natural habitat when it is found unhealthy. It is paramount for men to do something to make a difference, just like what this couple and their organization did.
