Wildlife Series: Part 9 - Rhinos saved by foresters and a villager called Jadav Payeng who turned a barren island into a forest

This is the last and final part of our Wildlife podcast series. There are two happy stories we talk about here -
(A) How rhinos in eastern India have been saved from poachers by the vigilant members of the forest community, and
(B) How one man single-handedly planted an entire forest with his own hands. Jadav Payeng never went to any fashionable academic institution to learn about ecology. He just felt that creating a forest was the right thing to do. Nobody told him that he was stark raving mad. Not that he may have listened to them.

Co-hosts in this episode: 9-year old Smyan from Mumbai and 'an almost' 9-year old Advik from Chennai
