Couple Plants an Entire Forest over the Past 20 Years – Growing 2M Trees
- woliveirajr 7y ago> Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado and Sebastião Salgado are a married couple... It helps a bit to know that Sebastião Salgado is well-know as being a prolific photographer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebasti%C3%A3o_Salgado https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebasti%C3%A3o_Salgado) with exhibitions around the world. Of course, this doesn't mean that it wasn't an easy task, it's just to highlight that perhaps he had a different view of the nature after travelling a bit.

Also, the documentary "The Salt of the Earth" (directed by Wim Wenders and Salgado's son Juliano) concludes with the story of this forest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salt_of_the_Earth_(2014_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salt_of_the_Earth_(2014_fi... The documentary is stunning. I watch a lot of documentaries, and this is one with the most "impact" that I've ever seen. It's at times difficult to watch, but worth it.
