Overview
It all started in 1979, when one of the usual floods of the Brahmaputra River, one of the longest in Asia, killed hundreds of snakes. Jadav, who was a child at the time, understood that the animals died because they had no shade to shelter in. He decided to fix this. Seed by seed he transplanted trees from nearby areas. Despite doubt from those around him, he managed to create a forest of almost six hundred hectares where birds, deer, rhinos, and elephants now live.
