In the News (boredpanda.com): “Photographer And His Wife Plant 2 Million Trees In 20 Years To Restore A Destroyed Forest And Even The Animals Have Returned”

“’The land was as sick as I was – everything was destroyed,’ Salgado said in The Guardian back in 2015. ‘Only about 0.5% of the land was covered in trees. Then my wife had a fabulous idea to replant this forest. And when we began to do that, then all the insects and birds and fish returned and, thanks to this increase of the trees I, too, was reborn – this was the most important moment.’ …

“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. …

“And so, after taking utmost care to ensure that everything planted is native to the land, the area has flourished remarkably in the ensuing 20 years. Wildlife has returned, where there was a deathly silence, there is now a cacophony of birdcalls and insects buzzing around. 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.”

Question: If we promote such heroes will we be able to push a person to some meaning of life and perhaps even correct the ecological system of the world? What do you think?

Answer: This is certainly great! Unbelievable!

Question: So, are you for promoting such people?

Answer: Of course!

Comment: Naturally, they received help, but they organized it all. Millions of trees have been planted. It is even shown there in pictures, a barren area of Brazil and suddenly after 20 years, everything is overgrown with trees and plants, birds came back, animals came, and life returned. They are so happy and the husband and wife stand together and hugging.

My Response: Of course!

Question: Does it mean that there is still something good in man?

Answer: Somewhere far and deep, but there is.

Question: How can we extract it?

Answer: By somehow demonstrating that the world is not without good people. Do you want to be like them? And so on.

Question: Are you in favor of such promotions after all?

Answer: Of course! Nature really needs our sensible attitude to it.

Question: What goal should a person have? Is the goal to get out of my personal drought in this way?

Answer: Certainly. Absolutely it is only that way! It really helps.

Question: That is, if this good becomes the meaning of life, right?

Answer: It changes a person.
