Everyone should plant trees if they have a space.
In Brazil, this couple planted 2 million trees in 18 years, returning 172 bird species, 33 mammals, 15 amphibians, 15 reptiles and 293 plant species.
The whole world should know them. This is Lélia Wanick and Sebastião Salgado.
The couple decided to start the Terra Institute, a small organization that planted 2 million plants and revived the forest.
"There is only one creature that can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, and that is a tree." We need to replant the forests. "
Using only local plants, the couple rebuilt the entire ecosystem from scratch and the area flourished significantly, allowing the fauna to return; thanks to their work, Lélia and Sebastião saved dozens of endangered species.
"The earth was sad as I was, everything was destroyed.
Then my wife got a fantastic idea to replant this forest: all the insects, fish and birds returned, and thanks to the new growth of the trees I was born again."

As Floridians, we are working through an unpredictable and rapidly changing situation, just like the rest of the world. Let's all keep health and safety as our number one priority. Please remember to review current recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and focus on recreating safely. Getting Outdoors Florida to experience fresh air, sunshine and move around is fine, just practice social distancing. Also, expect recreation facilities, like bathrooms, to be closed and prepare appropriately.
