In what way Peyang conserves the forest? |
|
Answer» The ‘Forest man of India Jadav Payeng who created 1,360 acres of dense and defiant forest was bom in Arunasapori (a river island on the Brahmaputra). He had just completed his Class X exams in 1979 when he started-to sow the seeds and shoots on the eroded island covered with sand and silt. Thirty-six years later he had converted the once unproductive land into a forest. Payeng’s forest is now home to five Royal Bengal tigers, over a hundred deer, wild boar, vultures, and several species of birds. For his remarkable initiative, the Jawaharlal Nehru University invited Payeng in 2012 on Earth Day and honoured him with the title of the ‘Forest Man of India’. |
