- Опубліковано 12 чер 2014
- Since the 1970's Majuli islander Jadav Payeng has been planting trees in order to save his island. To date he has single handedly planted a forest larger than Central Park NYC. His forest has transformed what was once a barren wasteland, into a lush oasis.
Humble yet passionate and philosophical about his work. Payeng takes us on a journey into his incredible forest.

He didn't just grow a forest, he created an eco system, on his own. If anyone should be recognised internationally, it is this guy here
A man and his family have been able to, through this action, help the earth breathe, and provide a haven for some of the sacred animals of this Earth.
Exactly hatss off to this men
This man is an asset to India, I watched a video of him about two years ago and now this. He has made tremendous progress over the last two years, the man is very determined, just think how beautiful this planet would be if everyone participated the same. Thank you for sharing this video.
E Nikata
I second you

No doubt about it
The irony is Indians know who Greta Thunberg is, but hardly anyone has heard about this simple forest man of India who silently went about planting trees considering it as his duty towards Mother Earth. A million🙏to him.
Well said .
I know him since long time before I knew about Greta. And I am an Indian.
Simple people in India live life that is far more compatible with the environment than the city slickers who have heard of Greta thunberg. Jadav Payeng happens to be be one of many people who care and make the necessary effort to heal nature. If you're not Indian, don't rush to judge. If you are Indian, don't look for credit by trashing your own people
And she is full of shit
Media is managed by few n they feed u what they want, not what u want or what is correct
“He thought I was a poacher, and he tried to attack me.”. This man out here growing forest and saving the animals within the forest. Respect
I'm a landscape architect from Sri Lanka and I really appreciate what the forest man does. No proper word to thank this incredible hulk for the job he has done for the world, not that for Majuli only. These people must sit in the chairs of world environment protection organizations. As a landscape architect again I'm thanking for the effort of the forest man and the person who published this video.
Ten years on now, do you know if he was successful getting the coconut trees planted?
Yes, how do we thank someone who has done something to undo the harm we have perpetrated on our world? I cannot find the words...🌹
There should be a children's book about the forest man!
imabeyond very true..
There is a French children's story that is very similar: The Man Who Planted Trees. ua-cam.com/video/PYlsIZXCQa4/v-deo.html
I was very surprised to see a real story like this in India! Truly inspiring. I myself have planted many trees in the mountains. Caring about nature goes across borders. It is something genuine and good in every culture of the world. Big hug from Portugal.
Very beautiful comment!
@@ViriatoII Great! And I'm sure you will agree with me that it is very important to plant only indigenous trees, not trees from other parts of the world. In my part of the world "people" had planted trees that look ugly and destroy the indigenous plants with shade (sunlight starvation), acidic leaves dropping on the ground, and aggressive seed growth. These non-indigenous trees look truly "alien" and ugly because they did not evolve there ... they take over and destroy the beauty of the once-amazing landscapes ... turning it into a crappy Disney World of mixed-up trees, rather than the perfect tapestry of colors and textures that is the earth when it is left the way it was.
@@ce7857 Yes, completely true! If you met me in person you would see that I'm always talking about invasive species, my country is full of invasive Australian trees, it's terrible!!! We don't even have Autumn colors anymore, and fires kill dozens every year, besides destroying soils, biodiversity and even rivers :(
I became a biologist and now I go even further: Just planting blindly native species can be problematic, as you should respect regional genetic richness. So I have mixed feelings about "industrial" native replantations, as they can bring seeds from 200-1000 kilometers distance, bringing genetic adaptations to wrong conditions. The best solution is these random guys that pick seeds up and plant them closeby, like in this documentary. Cheers!
@10:24 A very accurate statement: "There are no monsters in nature except for humans". Much respect to this man among men.
Humans can be good too, Jadav Payeng is evidence of that, and he is not the only one.
HD Isn't the act of 'conserving species' mostly because humans are the reason those species need conserving?
HD Cant find your other reply for some reason. I think the key term there was "without human influence." I think I can safely say that we're the mammals with the most kill points.
absolutely
we are only humans bound to protect and save what god has given to us. a man of great love for nature and a firm principle for humanitarian cause..hats off to mr.payeng. you really owe my respect sir..👏👌🖒✌
Proof-positive that One Man CAN Change the World!
Give this Man a Nobel Peace Prize!
GOD BLESS
🌿💕🌿
agreed he deserves more but does not boast of it
@MJK
A. Nobel Prize would mean nothing to him. I would ask what he needs to help him plant more trees. Does he need tools or seed or seedling trees. Is there a tree he wants but does not have? I would ask if I could bring a group of children so that he could teach them how to plant trees. If you sent him 100 children and only one listened, then there would another forest in 50 years. Perhaps two or three children would listen. Planting seeds of wisdom is as important as planting trees. That is how to get a thousand trees planted.
A prize is something that people created to feel important and better than the others. He just needs help to keep his good work
But a noble prize will come with a million dolar which could be used for the project
Planting a whole forest on your own is the coolest thing a human being can possibly do👐🏾much respect
He proves the potential that each of us have within ❤
The only man on earth who can say '' I am in my forest''..because it is his hardwork..
There are a few others, luckily, but he"s one of the few :)
My grampa can say the same thing in Canada. Though he had help, it was his idea and he did most of the work. Now his trees are very big and its very special to walk in it.
In Thailand theres people grow their forest too.
Lovely comment
instead of giving value to cricketers and actors ; we Indians should give priority to these people.for a better India.
Pawan Kumar from h man that's the truth. This person is amazing.
@@accelwell7018 Common thought with great vision
a problem all over the world. just insert "cricket" with generic "entertainer" or "artist"
Yes.... 👏👏👏
Fluff glitters more than stuff these days..
He built an ecosystem that enabled all kinds of life to flourish and practically saved an island single handedly. He's also gained my respect and admiration. What an amazingly selfless contribution to the world.
We need more of him.
I’m near tears. The gentleness, the persistence, the humility, the good for all. Remarkable.
Dude has got elephants, rhinos and tigers in a forest he himself planted.
It's simply unbelievable. 🙏🙏
People like Jadev Payeng Inspired me and then I made a Video presentation Called "CHOOSE YOUR HERO WISELY"
Which everyone liked and shared 😇

When I first heard the story, casually, in bits and pieces over the years, I didnt believe it was possible because it was too good to be true. BUT it's true! Now I don't believe it'll last or have any significant impact because its too good to last when surrounded by amoral opportunists, the source of all Paridises lost throughout history, to date, every single one, all the time, no matter what, . . .
It's posible, if they live nearly, the native forest is the ideal environment for these animals
@@marciaegertlaporte8940 Right you are! There have to be environmental land bridges available to the site or, for example, the plants and animals, water and soil treatment, etc., have to be artificially physically transported and thats not the idea here. The process requires natural priorities be established first and kept in place, step-by-step at a pace set by the environment, not the logistical capabilities and knowledge of random humans coincidentally located and willing.
But ultimately and most crucial is complete control of the site throughout the process and THAT missing resource (land control, property) is what makes or breaks the entire effort, anywhere, any how.
The man is a legend!
This man stands taller than any other person I can think of.
Patrick Squeri you can also check out man of the millennium
In my eyes, he’s standing taller than his beautiful trees, God Bless Him, such a selfless act 🙏🙏☮️☮️🌿🌿🌲🌲
It's him and Mountain Man. Their commitment and dedication is so high that it's difficult to imagine a bigger accomplishment.

This man already did more in this life than half the planet will do the rest of their lives. Respect.
💯
He just proves that we can all make a difference. You can too and everybody here watching and listening. Much love to you🙏❤
"Man consumes everything until there's nothing left..."
We all feel proud to call ourselves "nature lovers." This man here gives it a whole new meaning.
Salute.. Respect & Admiration.
Thnx.
He's a lion of a man. A giant🙏❤
You have the potential too and everybody else if they cultivate it. No one is ever useless even if you believe it. We can all make a difference. Much love to you and everyone🙏❤
We all should be doing this.
Actually people like him should be our forest minister.
Actually most righteous comment. A person who love and value forest, only that person is deserve to be forest minister.
Please join hands and plant a tree 🎄 with Jadav Payang ... Thanks 😊👍 N.Sugavanam 9176244989 sugavanam.mobile@gmail.com
How can they,
@@DilbagSingh-ox8li By becoming religious naturalists, a secular humanist, green religion, you can religiously live, work and develop sociopolitical values to accomplish it in all the right ways, all things considered. Naturalism can do it all.
@@jeffwalther3935 yes, yes by being what you sincerely wish the world to be, really, other than this is just a fantasy, love you Jeff love you, thank you Jeff, thanks
When I was a kid, the local Hardware store was giving seedlings away on Arbor Day. I got one and planted it out in the yard where I lived. It was a tiny Blue Spruce, about six inches high. I can't believe that was thirty five years ago. As time went along, I didn't think much about the tree.
My Mother has since passed and now someone else lives there in the house with the big Spruce. Every now and then I drive through the old neighborhood and it's surprising to see how big the tree has got. When I see it, I get a memory burst in my head of the young me planting that tiny thing and it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Jadav Payeng must get a thousand warm fuzzy feelings every day.
It was frustrating watching him getting awards, when I know a guy like that doesn't want trophies. A guy like him, wants you to plant some fucking trees. If you think what he has done is great, have him cut the ribbon on the new tree planting project.
I’m from China and I think a special spirit exist in his body so he could create such a miracle.It may be something like belief that nature is part of human life or courage to lead a different but spiritual life.
Dear Jimmy, I hope you are really from China. I believe your word. But I am amazed to see this sentence of a Spirit living in Padma Shree Jadav's body. I hardly can think that Chinese people think like that. I salute to your insight. If many chinese can start think like that , you can give great Governance to the World. We appreciate Chinese innovations. But your political picture in India or the Globe is exactly reverse. The thought that Great Spirit take birth to preserve fundamentals is etched in our society. I am touched by your analysis. Pranaamam.
I watched this video many years ago back when I had no interest in anything.
I'm going back to school for the first time in nearly 9 years with an emphasis in agriculture and more importantly, conservation sciences, permaculture and agroforestry.
I'd like to thank the Forest Man of India for igniting something in me.
We don't just need more people like Jadav. I want to BE like Jadav! Many many thanks to him, the journalist and the channel who shared this film with the world. I am both humbled and inspired.
Good luck with your aspirations
I can completely understand your enthusiasm to go back to school! Good luck and well done!
Beautiful. Well said. All the best to you and your endeavors.
It's great to be so inspired by someone's action that it changes our life for the best* Take a very good care of yourself, you already inspire others..like me* I wish you a truly happy life*
I am inspired too! We all love and inspire each other❤️🌻🤗🌞 Back to school!
Noble prize for this man
+belthazormn1 Better Obama
Djordje Djordjevic I hope you're sarcastic
Better 'than' Obama. There. Fixed that for you.
They gave an IG Noble to 3 vets who wrote a paper claiming dog fleas jump higher than cat fleas. Clearly supporting cutting edge science which advances humanity over at Noble. ..getting a Noble is like getting hit with a stick that has dog shit on the end
Yes I was mocking Nobel with the paradoy Noble which has itself become rather a daft award. Dylan couldn't really be bothered to return their call but his agent rsvp 'd so he had to go
Moral of the story : If you have a big goal in your life , you can achieve your goal by taking action bit by bit , little by little every day .
This man is a true hero. He proves the saying that actions speak louder than words.
I love how passionate he got when he said the only monsters on this planet are humans 💔
This man is truly amazing and what he has achieved is phenomenal. However, I would like to just acknowledge that the women in his household have spent the same number of years preparing and packing everything he needs to be able to to go out and do this wonderful thing. No-one ever really does anything singlehandedly, we all have help that enables us to do great things :-)
Jazz B yes any thing without the help of women is not possible to achieve.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE
Good point, they must have every bit of his courage and strength.
And we also need to thank the society that allowed him to live with food and housing without having to work in a corporation ... without having to sit in a cubicle and stare at a computer all day long, after the 90-minute one-way commute to work! I'm also glad to see small parts of India that are not full of trash, as I was told (and saw photos showing) most of India's ground, rivers and river banks are covered in depressing, soul-destroying plastic trash.
100 % true.
"You have to cut me first before you cut my trees"
-- Jadav Payeng
An emotion .
Respect to this visionary man.
@Athanasios Gavrilis You are using a Photo of someone's nephew without his permission!!
He so intune and wise
lots of respects to you jadav ji.everyone must follow in your footsteps.
Well, a more literal translation of what he said would be, "Instead of cutting trees, cut me!". But yeah, you could say that too.
'Cut me before cut my forest' makes me cry😢 u r the real man
What if everyone was like him.He planted alone now it's a Forest.This is a truly inspiring story.I thought he was the only one living in the forest bcoz of the title.It turns out he was the one who made the mountains forest.thank you from the Philippines.
One person can make a difference!
How about 1000 person
Thino Sugiana they will criticise
What more if all of us made a difference!
When we realize we are all one. Things will improve at the speed of light.
Thino Sugiana why not all? Oh yeah, the human race is dumb except a few
Hats off for this great person!!!
I have planted 500nos. Of different plants including fruits and medicinal plants during last six years of tenure in my village in Maharashtra India.
Huge respect to you too
Amazing! Thank you!!
That's just about one of the most wonderful thing a person of personal means can do, through strategically applied thought and devotion, exactly like what Forest Man did. You probably did perfectly well, all things considered. Enjoy the spoken and unspoken gratitude your hundreds of thousands of selfless acts over the years it took to do that. It is truly noble, honorable, logical, smart, rational and greatly needed everywhere by everyone.
I was your 100th like!!
Excellent Arun, keep going! I will visit one day to help you.
Bless this man, I'm so happy there are persons like him. He's a hero.
He's my hero too. Bless you and I love you all🙏❤
Dear Forest Man,
Thank you for breaking my hardened heart into a thousand pieces and giving me this renewed heat that can feel. I cry now, my bittersweet tears. I wish these tears touch the ground and bloom the seeds of a new world, as you do. Thank you.
He deserves a Nobel Prize.
He deserves support and help to expand his forrest... I think he might have enough awards.
the million dollars you get with the nobel prize could be useful though!
sarvesh
he dosnt need as title he has it sll
He is tired of medals.
Now we have to support him for protection of forest.
he needs to bomb kids in the middle east to get the prize.
How often did he have to hand carry water to his seedlings? This man is a modern day hero and SAINT. We need more like him in the world. I wish I could donate to his program.
You dont have to. Dew makes it wet enough and it rains well in that part, plus the island is in the middle of the mighty brahmaputra river
He’s one with nature. Incredible humble person. Total love.
I can feel the love flowing from the trees and the animals in the forest toward Jadav!! What an achievement! May the world be bless to have thousands of Jadavs like this.
He doesn't even need to worry about tigers!
Yes, what a treasure! He's an example of man doing good when he puts his mind to it.
I'm planing to do the same even though currently I'm planting very little as I can. Wish me good luck :)
Good luck! You could also involve volunteers from here for expample www.helpx.net/
Good luck!
Good luck!
I find this a noble cause, and am leaning toward similar things myself...
Afforestation, possibly reclamation of lands toward arability, etc.
Currently soaking up as much as I can lay hands on, as ideas / inspiration. Not sure how to go about financing such things in the future, but it may be in my future. We'll see...
Weird coming from a suburban tech nerd, but there's something about nature. And I live in a beautiful relatively green place (Pacific Northwest / Oregon), and wish there were far more places like it...
Oksana Tkachuk Thank you very much for the wishes and the information.
Alvaro Costa Thank you very much!
Michael Gmirkin Thanks mate. Good luck for you too. Start a little and then you will be able to growing up your forces.
how's your project going man?
It’s funny how humans look up to rock stars and not World Stars like this man , truly awe inspiring 🙏
Proper
The man is a real superhero. He showed us that superheroes don't need miraculous powers; just a simple philosophy and a determination to materialize it will do.
💯
They are trying to live on the dead planet of Mar but ignore the problems on Earth. If they spend money on planting trees in the desert, people will have more land to live on.
Well it's just the fame and recognition now he's in an award winning film so people know about it.
I got goosebumps, this is incredible, God bless you Jadav
With out a dought one of the best stories I have ever heard of ' this man is a shining example of what is good in this world. His efforts in my eyes make him the richest man in the world...🇦🇺
Thank you!!!
Daily Dose Of Internet hey
Daily Dose Of Internet bruh you here?
Aww. Thanking for Forest man's work
😀😀
Here after your video
😘
In my lifetime I have planted 100's of trees and feel more proud of that than anything else I have done. This man is truly an inspiration to all. Old chinese proverb "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the next best is today". And from Dr Martin Luther King " If I knew I had one day to live I would plant a tree.
Bless you Mr Payeng!
John De Lamontaigne You’re comment is superb. Thank you.
@@elizawilliams2761 Thank you! Best regards!

He is healing a gaping wound day by day, bit by bit. What a shining example of humanity.
I grow my little jungle wherever i live. I love this man. He is truly honorable.
Jadav Payeng (Forest Man of India) you are devoted to creating forest habitat, your wisdom, foresight and practise makes you a saint in my eyes - "Cut me before you cut my trees" you say. Your love is immense, thankyou for caring so much for Nature. May the Yakshini's bless you forever. Catheryn from Australia xx
I liked your reference of "Yakshini".
your reference of ""Yakshini is fantastic
I didn't understand the reference. explain pls!
danushka devinda just google yakshini she is a goddess .a protector of earth and it's resources
Catheryn Thompson hi
Worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. An incrediable example to us all.
Unlike Obama and Albreit.
wouldnt they give it to the great greta thunberg
i agree
Elena Lastovkina obama did all tot good stuff for the us and the world he got those prizes for the great things he did and also for capturing the most wanted terrorist in the world so stop looking down on him. i bet you haven’t accomplished 1% of what he’s done during his for years in your whole life. smh
Hmmm
The man who said "cut me before my trees" ❤
He was awarded Padam Shree, India's fourth highest civilian award in 2015.
first, i discovered the man who broke the mountain with his bare hands to connect two villages, secondly i discovered a guy who made hundred miles road with plastic waste, and now i discovered this forest guy....
dude india is full of inspirational persons that need more acknowledge
bocaboci and you're from?.. just curious!
not just recognition but support and help
Lol
Planting a forest = dude. Breaking a Mountain = not a dude. Building a road out of plastic = not a dude. There is a big difference between a Man whom assists nature in regreening a destroyed area of this beautiful Earth and a person whom destroys a part of it or a person whom, without meaning harm, covers it in a toxic material that takes 10000 years to spontaneously biodegrade. Those plastics will break down into micro plastics that cannot be dealt with by friction and the effects of UV rays amongst other unintended consequences. The mans forest on the other hand will grow and in death support it’s own life and the lives of all whom dwell within, ad infinitum.
@@neilbennett9281 I must say that you are very good at finding or deriving negativity out of such fascinating postive action or deeds....and that's so pitifull....
I live in the Philippines, and am just a 14 year old boy who's still dreaming a lot. I always get inspired by these kind of people, and aspire to be like them someday. I want to save the environment. I want to help the world, and all those creatures here on Earth.
I do believe that regardless of whereever we are from, how old we are, and how different our lives can ever be, we can still contribute in saving nature.
If you are reading this comment, I hope your desires in life, are not those that can only benefit yourself. Try dreaming of a better place for everyone!
I wish you are having a great day. And God bless.
I cry by reading your post young boy...
I give you my heart and i hope and i dream too, that you follow your dream. Your dream is the seed to a lot of courage. Every problem you will face in live, you will learn from it and grow by it. You will learn, because that is what growing looks like. I hope you will find a friendly girl, who has the same dream like you. Together you will have more strength to fight together for a better world for animals, trees, plants, oceans, rivers and humans. But be carefull with humans. Some will let you grow and inspire you. But some will try to rob your faith in you. Be strong, vulnerable, a deep thinker, forget your ego. Be you.
Do never forget your dream, your purpose in your life path.
One day, your children will be happy to have a dad like you.
The animals will love you too and they will live in your dreams.
The trees, the water, the plants, will florish and remember the life you protected.
I do not believe in any god.
But i believe in you, little boy... who will be a friendly man with a heart in the right place.
Kind regards from belgium and be carefull to protect you allways. Stay healthy and well.

God bless you Jadav, this is beyond any awards could celebrate - you truly have a loving heart!!
For the past 28 years of my life, whenever I would get up and live my school or work days and complain about everything I didn't like about my life, this man was always waking up to turn wasteland into his own paradise with his own two hands.
With respect..you meant leave for school..
@@arnoldpolin7075 nope...
He's done more in his lifetime than a forest of politicians and business people.
Very true ..a man with low profile and so genuine with real contributions.
I'm pretty sure that the Creator of the universe have this man in high steem. He deserves the best for his efforts to maintain this part of the planet alive. Great human being!!!
I love this man! He is doing God's work!
It angers me that nobody helps him. his ideas are brilliant. he did not go to Harvard and yet knows more than many polititians, engineers, ecc. most important he. knows no greed
@Dhanya S - "He does not think about tomorrow". He DOES think about tomorrow, that's why he's planting trees. People that plant trees have an interest in the future.
Andrea Melado
Oh shut up! Would ya.
Andrea Melado I totally agree. He is asking for everyone to do this and giving him awards is highlighting his actions to the masses though really we’re all responsible for keeping this planet in good order for all living organisms and we all know it.
My respect to Jadav Payeng from Venezuela.
Thats the kind of caring and love we need in our lives.
Its India, not Venezuela.
This makes me want to go back to the place where my grandfather planted a forest. I am starting to become an old man now and I see the value in it.
To everybody reading this, I hope that whatever is bothering you or that you are continuously worried about gets better. May gloomy thoughts, overthinking, and uncertainty leave your head right now. May clarity triumph over obscurity. May your life be filled with serenity and quiet.

People be complaining about lacking money to do things but this man here grew an entire forest with barely any money.
Absolutely! So powerful, and we all have this power, we just need to make the decision to use it, and do it.
No game no life. Sora is a legend
In most western countries one would need a lot of money, because all land is owned by someone and you can't just go round planting trees on it.
@@ebrinckmannde Break the law... Plant trees....
Damn, truth is.... Money is not needed for everything
Forest Man is clearly one of God's most precious creations. He barely gives me hope toward the value of the rest of us.
Not ONLY is he making a difference in his country, India. Majuli Islander Jadav is making a difference in our ENTIRE PLANET!!! All my respects and admiration to this wonderful man!!! ❤️
My faith in humanity has been slightly restored , God Bless this man .
Chris Moore you can also check out "Man of the millennium"
Take a leaf out his book, why do you think it says in the book of revelations..And even the leaves on the tree were as a healing for the nations. If everyone were to take a leaf out of his book there would indeed be a new heaven and a new Earth. That is also why it says ...And the books were opened. Everybody has a book in them, right!
Slightly :)
You better stay away from Walmart then
The way he said "I'm just roaming around in my forest"
Why do we all know about Greta Thunberg and not this man... he is actually doing something and for 43 years. This is where Noble prizes should go.
Exactly
Yes!
This man is sadly, not doing the work of the elite…in fact, quite the opposite.
Gratta ticks the boxes because she can distract the next generation. This man inspires to ACT not RE-act, as the ecoliberalists do.
Sad…but the environment has become politicised.
If we stay within our local areas and work on bettering the world around us, our efforts will overlap and we will overcome the mess, our ill informed, unaware and ignorant predecessors have made.
God bless…and may He inspire us all to handle His creation with the care, as this man has demonstrated.
❤️🙏❤️
Greta thunberg is fit on the Western agenda and this man is nothing for western countries if this man gets nobel prize then who will spread the agenda of western countries
Because this guy doesn't lay down in the street like GT to protest climate change, or written a bunch of books like she has. **HE'S DOING WHAT REALLY MATTERS, NOT JUST PROTESTING ABOUT IT OR WRITING ABOUT IT!!**
@@CLASSICALFAN100 you do understands that is what I meant ???....Yes we agree he is doing what really matters .... he isn't making millions and setting up photo shoots like GT
The cheery on top is this man literally said "I'm roaming around MY forest 😇"
This is the type of man we all need to emulate. I want to go there and work with him. Such an inspiration!
I think we all do... ^_^
Stay where you are and plant trees on your own lawn. We should all do the same right where we live. Plant trees and shrubs native to your area that support local insects, reptiles, birds etc.
You can't just plant trees on your lawn in a suburban area unless you take into account house foundations (yours and neighbours), pavements, roads. The roots of some trees will crack foundations and you will have to pay to have it repaired. The local council or city will charge you for repairs to pavements/sidewalks. take into account your neighbours window placements, you cannot just block out someones light, they will sue you. I agree totally, go plant some trees but use your noggin.
The island mentioned here is also a tourist spot(not that popular though) from cultural perspective. You can try.
Just make sure you let him know your not a poacher,or God knows what will become of you.
In every corner of the world are passioante people who don,t make empty words but take action.Congrats to this Indian man and all of many more:)
problem is, in every corner there are more people who just want to fill the pockets
Hi John Carlos , I am a 50 year old white boy who's still dreaming a lot. I am inspired to by these kind of people too. In my country, the Netherlands, people lost their connection with nature and reality. So things are very bad now. But, it gives us the opportunity find the connection back with nature again.
India so many parts are soo violent towards woman and children it's the highest in the world let's hope this man is being honest and can bring change. for many his craft is beautiful.
Maybe you can start to connect people in your country back to nature .
I'm in Australia it's so beautiful many forests, streams rivers and so much more beauty I constantly remind people about our beautiful surroundings it's not huge what I do but it helps to remind people.
Second time watching this truly amazing story about a truly amazing work of one man, Jadav. If only we could have more of his kind. Pure ❤ to him and family.
Now that is a human being with a conscience. Make another one! i want to see more of this! what an amazing man! respect and love from Ireland.
Irishfox sign a petition online to the Indian government to support him
I’m proud of my 9 square meters garden... Imagine how this guy feels
Goosebumps!!
He probably doesn't see it, that way...He probably feels like it's his duty or calling in life.
May God bless this beautiful soul for his contribution towards nature. The world needs to have more men like him.... thank you sir for your work.. 🙏🙂
Sometimes it only takes one person to make a world of difference! This man truly made a world of difference! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Give this man a Nobel Prize. It doesn't exist a category yet, but he contributed so much for this island.
catagory, Planet Earth regeneration restoration ...future. new compulsive topic to be taught to every single human being
I am from Assam nd M proud of him...actually he is a great example of people called "Simple living high thinking"
👍
Hy hima
Go and plant a tree instead of showing fake sympathy for him.....

Maina tumi jui
Truly a great man.
He will be rewarded by Mother Nature abundantly. Hats off Sir.
Hacen falta más personas así en el mundo...
Yes, you can be one of them
I salute You sir , Me and my classmates have formed an eco club by ur name - JP plantation club
Legend Formula that sounds awesome! What kinds of things does your eco club do?
Thats really sounds like an amazing initiative.
Good initiative 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💟💟💟
Well done to you and your class mates, have a read of the book called Wilding written by a lady called something Tree, I kid you not , is very inspirational.
so freakin awesome guys
One of the richest man I have ever seen in my life. Even in regards to monetary value, he could be worth millions of Dollars if he chose to poach the rhinos and elephants that live in his forest but instead he says "cut me instead of cutting my trees" and vows to keep planting trees until his last breathe of air. The Guardian of a forest. What an inspiration!
In our country they need Millions of Funds just to raise a forest. I salute this man, he's a true environmentalist.
So much respect for this guy. Absolutely incredible! Wow.
There is something solemn and spiritual in this narrative. The conjugation of the love of one man for his beloved land inspires practical sense and utter wonder. Thank You for sharing this important story.
"Cut me before you cut my trees." WOW! Powerful words from a humble individual. Much respect, sir. 👍👍👍
do you know in Assam there is 70% forest...if you go in village areas of assam first of all it is clean and 2nd every family has large plot of forest in backyard

Please join hands and plant a tree 🎄 with Jadav Payang ... Thanks 😊👍 N.Sugavanam 9176244989 sugavanam.mobile@gmail.com
But he is staying in a wooden house🤔
Just when I was losing hope for the future of this planet, I find this man and my faith is restored. One person can make a difference ... and here is proof. I hope he never gives up.
It's not how we should give him credit. The time has come where we need to restore our planet or else the huge devastation from natural calamities will go more dangerous. We humans, if not started yet, will become a cause for our own death.
One year down the line, are you satisfied with your contribution to ecology?
We need more people like this man in the world
I love this man! What an amazing human. And thanks to his family for helping him too. ❤❤
I absolutely love this. A selfless man doesn't talk about change but acts upon it himself. Bravo Jadav Payeng your light is inspiring.
In 2015, he was honoured with Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award in India.
Raw Bacon he got commonwealth light award 2019 , many more awards .
Please join hands and plant a tree 🎄 with Jadav Payang ... Thanks 😊👍 N.Sugavanam 9176244989 sugavanam.mobile@gmail.com
I don't think the guy wants awards, he would rather a truck full of seedlings
@@cheymcloughlin6366 agree... and better still, to have his ideas supported and extended in ways that he has talked about above, so that the whole region can be reforested
These awards have no value to him, government should help him in his cause of planting forest and saving the island. Otherwise these awards are meaningless to him if he doesn't succeed in his goal.
An incredible artist. An incredible soul. Thank you Forest Man.
Congratulations to all Payengs in the world, blessed people✨
I feel like awards are meaningless to this beautiful man. Give him seedlings instead.
Exactly me too but i believe that he should at least get some funds and recognition
Let's be a reflection of what he has done and inspired in us.
@@bandanasaikia6048 yeah you're right, nothing wrong with giving him awards, but some funding and resources to go with it also
Word! I wonder how many politicians have given him pretty awards and words, followed up with "thanks so much for doing the work I didn't do, since you've been doing it for free for decades, there's no reason to start bothering you with filthy money now, off you go".
@@Julia-lk8jn You hit the nail on the head or shall we say you're right on the money!
I was in Majuli in 2007. It was so pristine back then. I wished I had known about Jadav Payeng back then. He is a great role model.
Thnks Dirk,im frm Assam.Majuli n Payeng is our heart
Two great men are better than one. Thank You my brothers. May Nature be with you.✌
Such a beautiful man and supportive loving family!!!...it only takes 1 person to change the world. ❤
This man inspired me to become The Forest Man 2.
Go for it

Children, now that is a superhero you should be following. That is a superhero whose comic books you should be ready.
We all come from very different backgrounds; we all share our own unique stories. This man example should serve as a reminder that EACH and every one of us can and will make a difference! You might not have access to untouched land/island/ private backyard. BUT you do have access to roads, you do have access to streets, you do have access to parks, and even garden… and if you go a bit further out of your comfort zone, you will find plenty of barren “spots” Hey throw a seed :), plant a tiny bush or a plant, or even a tree… Hey you could even play Ninja, and even pretend as if no one saw you do it. Crazy idea right? But it will make a difference! And the difference is coming from you! And by the way, seeds are so cheap! May be there is a street you walk ever day, and it has a few barren spot. Wouldn’t it be nice to throw a few flowering seeds and watch that spot change after a few months???
I have a little over half an acre of land. I have a pick, I even have a shovel. And I am throwing seeds where I want the place to change. The most important thing is to be patient!
+adnan tariq Yes, very true. When we bought our house, we got rid of the lawn and planted trees everywhere. Now we have a mini forest with lost of shade. There is no need for aircon as the trees keep the house cool enough, so that saves energy and CO2 emissions. And the beauty of living with a canopy of trees! Since then, we have planted a tree whenever we can, even in the smallest courtyard garden. My husband is thinking of buying some land that you cannot build on to just plant trees. That could be very nice, and we could go and camp there sometime.
nims60 very impressive! I have to ask, where do you live? Because I live in NJ, and I have a lot of trees. some very close to the house, which could be a hazard during strong winds and storms. other than that, i'm fine with the tress growing as is.
I plant some bamboo, to visually block a part of the landscape (yes i know bamboo can bgo out of control, i'm hopinf for it)
hey... I'm also growing bush!
Every once in a while I think of this man...Memory of him helps me let go and see the world through his eyes..
Jadav is a legend ... truly doing justice to Mother Nature.... I have nothing but a immeasurable admiration, respect and salute... love my mother land and simple yet noble souls like Jadav🙏🏽
