SHANGRALA'S

THE FOREST MAN!

      Meet Jadab Payeng, from the island of Majuli, India. He is the amazing man who saved an entire island bringing back the plants and animals it once had.
      In the past Majuli was a magical place full of green forests. But very quickly the island was destroyed because of humans who tried to profit from its natural resources and they actually destroyed the vegetation and wildlife that were in the place.
      But over 41 years ago, Jadab decided to make a change. In 1979, he planted the first tree in an abandoned part of Majuli - and he continued to do so on a regular basis.

      Here Is His Amazing Story. Enjoy! :)
Shangrala's The Forest Man
      Most of Majuli Island was made up of sand dunes that were swept away and disappeared.

      But thanks to Jadab's efforts, that is no longer the case. According to Jadab, it was a dream to recreate the natural beauty that was once part of Majuli - but the force that motivated him was his desire to bring about the return of plants and animals.

Shangrala's The Forest Man
      Thanks to Jadab, a 5500-acre forest is now home to many wildlife, including elephants, moose and tigers.
      The film "The Forest Man" which followed Jadab's life project won the Best Documentary Award at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. You can watch the documentary below.
