It all started in 1979.Payeng was a 16-year-old boy who, one morning after flooding in his village, saw how very close to his town hundreds of dead reptiles had appeared. heat, for the desolation that had remained in an area before fertilized but devastated after the fierce rains.That young man was impressed by that cluster of lifeless animals that had died of thirst and sunstroke in that complicated corner of India where our protagonist had born.What he did next made him a true hero.
Jadav's great feat «Molai Payeng»
[pull_quote_center] The snakes died of heat, without any shadow arborea I sat and cried over their lifeless bodies.It was a carnage.Alert the forest department and ask them if they could plant trees there. I was told that nothing would grow in that place … except the bamboo .[/pull_quote_center]
That event seemed to be set on fire in Payeng's mind.After the fierce floods in its population and in the immediate vicinity, a large part of the forests disappeared, all so dry and desolate that the reptiles were left without any protection to survive.The authorities, far from giving them hope, told him that the only thing he could do It was simply planting bamboo.
And what did our boy do? Jadav “Molai” Payeng does not doubt it, he left his school and his house, to live in that desolate stretch of sand, right on the banks of the Brahmaputra river in Assam , isolated and alone, without anyone getting to understand what he intended to do.His purpose was firm: bamboo-based reforestry, sowing the seeds by hand, watering the plants day and night, with effort and great enthusiasm.Do you know how long Have you dedicated to this company? Something more than thirty years of absolute dedication that has resulted in an incredible natural reserve of almost 1360 acres.Once the bamboo grew, Payeng began the task of planting trees.That way I bring more density to that land, where I could emerge a suitable biological environment.
A diamond in the rough where very little by little, original varieties of flora have emerged, incredible plants that have created an ecosystem conducive to a large number of animals, and not only reptiles, thanks to Payeng Endangered animals such as the horn rhinoceros and the Royal Bengal tiger are appearing in this area of India.And not only that, biologists say that vultures and deer have begun to be seen.
This area has been named "The Molai Forest" ("Molai Kathoni") in honor of that young-today a mature person of 46 years-who with his determination and work has raised a small lung that gives refuge to countless animals, and not only reptiles, as was the initial purpose of Payeng.If you are lucky enough to walk around This beautiful forest of India, you will have the opportunity to see a multitude of animals that walk calmly and totally adapted to an area that has just emerged from nowhere, and at the same time the deepest and most energetic of a man: his dreams.
Lifting a forest from nothing requires time and dedication, but without a doubt it is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and nature.
