If you spend any

fanning the flames of world warning.
According to the UN,
a place the scale of South Africa has been
misplaced completely considering the fact that

Add on pinnacle of
that the deforestation enterprise this is
chargeable for 15% of greenhouse fueloline
emissions and it truly provides to the plant
species and animals which are going extinct.
David Attenborough has stated that species are
going extinct on the identical price because the
dinosaurs after they disappeared. And all of us
realize that it didn`t stop nicely for the
dinosaurs.

are seeking to do. Married couple Sebastião
Salgado and Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado
are displaying the sector what's viable
while people move up in opposition to the
environmental problems we're now
experiencing.
For years, the
husband spent his time documenting the

“The land
was as sick as I was – everything was
destroyed,” Salgado told The Guardian.
“Only about 0.5% of the land was covered
in trees. Then my wife had a fabulous
idea to replant this forest. And when we
began to do that, then all the insects
and birds and fish returned and, thanks
to this increase of the trees I, too,
was reborn – this was the most important
moment."

Salgado has founded an
own institute: Earth Institute (Instituto Terra).
Translation:
São Paulo, SP (Folhapress) - [The singer] Gilberto Gil
has only the forest in his head - just in a
transferred sense, always being worried, and this is
also shown in his video climp "Refloresta", with his
new song and with the names of the campaign of the
Eart Institute (Instituto Terra) from Lélia Deluiz
Wanick Salgado and Sebastião Salgado. This action
tries to communicate the meaning of recovering of bad
forest areas, and this will be started on Saturday
evening (21).
Photographer Salgado was observing the environment
situation in Brazil constantly. The head quarter of
his institute is a living example for the initiative
for reinstalling forest in deforestated areas. When
the location was purchased by his family, the location
was a cattle farm before, and was destroyed.
This location is [now] a protected natural reserve
being called "Fazenda Bulcão" (Reserva
Particular do Patrimônio Natural - RPPN),
it's a forest region near the Atlantic near the Rio
Doce Valley (Vale do Rio Doce). The RPPNs
are natural reserves in private possession.
This RPPN which consists of something more than 600
hectars. About 2,2 million trees were planted up to
now. From now on, the territory will be helped by
Zurich Insurance with one more million of seedlings -
which mostly are created in the greenhouse of the
institute. With this, 120 species of plants of the
Atlantic Forest (mata atlântica) are created.
According to indications of the institute, since
November 2020 again 100.000 seedlings have been
planted. Now between November of this year and
February 2022, the project is plantin another 140.000
trees of 69 species.
Terra
Institute (Instituto Terra) indicates that about
15.000 seedlings came from greenouses from familiars
around the farm.
The period of 2021 until 2030 is considered by UNO
as the century of the reinstallment of the
ecosystems. Atlantic Forest is the most destroyed
region of the country, and deforestation has grown
since a short time again. Only about 12% of it's
original forest is existing yet.
Reforestation was restarted with this campaign and
this was important, but it was not simple. But
effects come immediately as also with the higher
rain forest. In the meantime, Gils song is saying
"it's not enough what remains". This means: There
has to be a very hard work for convincing so the
forest is finally respected."

aufgeforstet [6]
Sebastião Salgado is without any doubt one of the most
important photographers ever in the world.
In 2019, the Earth Institute (Instituto Terra) helped
the reforestation of Sebastião Salgado's farm, more than
290 local plant species were planted on 609 hectares.
Mr. and Mrs. Salgado [7] - Vía: El MundoThe begin of the project
The project of reforestation of the farm began in the
early 2000s, when Sebastião Salgado was coming
back from a horrible documentation of the Ruanda
genocide.
Returning to his farm again, Salgado was together with
his wife and saw only a dry and sad zone without life.
And then they had a thought which was for others almost
impossible: reforestate the complete forest.

"The soil was so ill as I was. My wife had a wonderful
idea to plant this forest again, and when it began
sprouting, all insects, birds and fishes returned."
Sebastião Salgado
The Earth Institute (Instituto
Terra)
A short time after this, the Earth Institute
(Instituto Terra) was found which planted
until today more than 4 million trees and helped to
complete reforestation of the photographer's farm.
The work of Sebastião Salgado
Sebastião Salgado investigates life and experience of
humans in less developed and impoverished countries. His
photo books like "Exodus and children" ("Exodos y
Children") show the hikes in 35 countries in Africa
concerning complete families, from the parents down to
the little child.
The signification of his work lead to the fact that in
2001 he was nominated a special representative of
UNICEF, and in 2007 he won the prize of the Prince of
Asturias (premio Príncipe de Asturias de las artes).
