Narrator: There! Done. I've planted ten seeds today. 好累喔。
That was a lot of hard work.
你種過樹嗎?
It doesn't sound that difficult, does it? But it feels like very hard work.
Now imagine thousands of trees! Yes! Thousands! That is exactly what one man in India did.
The man's name is Jadav Payeng, he's famous for planting trees.
He is known as the Forest Man of India. Can you guess why?
That's because he planted an entire forest by himself! 他自己種一片大樹林! 很厲害吧!
He started only planting a few trees.
Then every day he began planting more and more. He did this for thirty years.
你認為你能夠種樹種超過三十年嗎?
Over time, as the many trees grew, they became a forest.
Now, the forest covers a space that is 550 hectares.你知道這樣有多大嗎?
It's about 15 football stadiums big. That is huge!
That is larger than Central Park in New York City.
All of these trees are good for the animals too, because the forest became their home.
Now, a lot of different animals live in this forest.
There are Bengal tigers, Indian rhinoceros, over 100 deer, rabbits, monkeys, and birds.
老虎,犀牛,鹿,還有兔子跟猴子,都住在森林裡面也有大象喔!
About 100 wild elephants visit the forest every year, and they have their babies there.
Isn't that amazing? One man created a forest all by himself,
and now that forest is a home for hundreds of different animals.
And it is all because he started by planting a few trees.
