My struggle for plants ?????

  1. Planting some bamboo plants set up Molai forest_-                                                                                  The campaign started with a catastrophe. Assam suffered floods during 1979. Thousands of wild animals were killed, snakes, scorpions crawling and reached our homes. Due to land erosion, the entire surrounding greenery was swallowed by the river. Then a thought came to my mind that due to the disaster, the animals and animals have had to face, sometimes even humans may have to face it. I belong to Kokilamukh in Jorhat district of Assam. I belong to the Mishing tribe. At that time, I was about sixteen years old. One day after the disaster, I was returning from Aruna Sapori, an island on the Brahmaputra river. I saw hundreds of snakes lying lifeless on a sandy and deserted land. Since there was only mud and mud in the forest due to the flood, they came towards the sand, but could not bear the heat of the sand in the open sun. When I spoke to the elders, they told that if there are trees, plants on the sandy strips that emerge around and in the middle of the Brahmaputra, then the animals will be saved from the wrath of the river and humans too. I asked him 'which tree should it be? So he said that bamboo can be planted in these places in the beginning. I could see my floor and way. I collected some bamboo plants from the village and came to rope them on an island in the middle of the Brahmaputra. I was studying in high school but had to leave because of spending most of the time on the island between trees and plants. I used to water these plants in the morning and plant some new plants every day. Within a few years, bamboo became a forest here. Gradually I started planting other trees here so that mixed forests could be established. To make the land fertile, I started bringing rotten leaves and earthworms from the village and leaving here. When other trees in the forest also became dense, animals and birds started coming here. The joy I felt seeing animal birds in the forest cannot be compared. In 1980, when the forest department started plantation work under the Public Welfare Undertaking on two hundred hectares of land in the Aruna Sopori area, I joined that campaign. I worked there as a laborer when people left after the end of the campaign, but I decided to stay there. The area now transformed into the dense forest as a result of plant maintenance. A problem occurred as the forest grew. Elephants living in the forest started entering the surrounding villages. They started to waste crops here. Angry villagers told me that if the animals did not stop entering the village, they would set fire to the forest. I started planting banana plants in a large part of Jagal. As a result, elephants stopped moving towards the villages. To sustain my family's livelihood, I took cows, buffaloes and started selling their milk in the surrounding villages, as I did not want to go far from this forest at any cost. There is a kind of friendship with the animals of the forest, I plant new trees according to their diet. There is a kind of friendship with the animals of the forest, I plant new trees according to their diet. This forest developed around the village is known as Molai Forest. I left everything and made this forest my home, where I feel the happiest person in the world. - Based on various interviews of Padmashri awarded environmentalist. _-- Jadav pausing from India ??
