This brought me to tears this morning.
It covered everything in such a short space of time. A simple idea slowly realised through work and determination. The example of what one person can achieve and also the hypocrisy of officials dishing out awards and talking about what should be done but not actually doing it. With the reference to human consumption and this one man’s commitment to protecting his work not for financial or economic gain but for the benefit of the planet, its animals and its people.
This is a stunning documentary and a perfect example of the genre. Simple, direct and a delicately delivered message. Much like the man Jadav himself.

Unfortunately, the reason for the disappearance of forests, whether India, or North America, is that people chop them down. A month's firewood is more important to some than that the tree took 40 years or more to grow. The other problem is that in some places (like India) police have far more pressing problems than chasing tree poachers.
That's pretty damned impressive, has to be said.

Can I secretly grow a forest in America? Is it illegal?
