It’s
truly amazing when we get to cover news of people who single-handedly
create something truly significant. Churches on a mountain side, for
instance. Or in this case, an entire forest. Jadav Payeng,
a man in his mid-fifties, has been instrumental in converting a sand
bar in the middle of the river Brahmaputra in Assam, India, into a huge
forest. His work of the past 31 years is being recognized by tourists
and film-makers, the world over.
