Explain the above statement citing the example of Jadav Molai Payeng.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes the statement is true because if one people is determined he can motivate others to plant trees or save ot from deforestation.

Answer 2

The explanation of the statement is given below:

• Jadav Molai Payeng born in a nomadic tribe of Assam worked as a forest worker from 16 years of age.
• In 1979, the local Social Forestry Department initiated an afforestation project on 200 hectares of land. Molai was one of the workers looking after that project.
• Even after the completion of the project, he continued planting trees and caring for them.
• As a result, the barren area saw the forest cover over the 1360 acres.
• Today, this jungle in the Jorhat district of Assam is the result of the hard work of a single person over the time span of 30 years.
• This shows that in a world where people come together to destroy the forests, a single person's determination can re-establish the greenery.
