Similar Stories to This Man Planted A Tree Every Day For More Than 35 Years, And Isn't Done Yet on Bing News

It all started with one tree. In 1979, Padma Shri Jadav "Molai" Payeng came across several snakes on Majuli Island in Assam, India. Flooding brought the snakes to the island, but due to erosion, there wasn't any shade, and the snakes died from the heat. Payeng was 16 at the time, and decided he was going to do something so this never happened again: he planted a sapling, and continued to plant one a day for the next 35 years. Majuli is the world's largest river island, and 39 years after Payeng planted his first sapling, the trees cover more than 1,360 acres.
