This couple started planting trees in a landscape that had all its trees chopped down.  It looked like a desert.  It was a barren hillside.  They planted trees over many years and developed a native living forest in Brazil.  It is now full of many species of birds, plants, animals, and trees.  Check it out:

It takes quite a commitment.  He's basically dedicating his life and finances to the project. He ended up with something wonderful.  It takes a visionary sort of person to do this kind of thing.  Amazing end product.

To my mind, there isn't a lot of better things a person could do with their time on this Earth!  Thank you for sharing, John.
 
No matter how many women are assigned to the project, a pregnancy takes nine months. Much longer than this tiny ad:
