The whole world should know about them. This is Lélia Wanick and Sebastião Salgado
The couple decided to start the Terra Institute, a small organisation that has planted 2 million plants and revitalised the forest.
"There is only one creature that can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, and that is a tree," they say. "We have to replant the forests. "
Using only local plants, the couple rebuilt the entire ecosystem from scratch and the area flourished considerably, allowing wildlife to return; through their work, Lélia and Sebastião saved dozens of endangered species.
"The land was as sad as I was, everything was destroyed. Then my wife had a fantastic idea to replant this forest: all the insects, fish and birds came back, and thanks to the new growth of the trees, I was reborn. "
