Much of the island of Majuli consisted of barren sand banks that were vulnerable to erosion, but thanks to Jadav’s efforts, that is no longer the case.
According to Jadav, it was a dream to be able to recreate the natural beauty that once was Majuli – but the driving force behind his efforts was getting the plants and animals to return.
Thanks to Jadav, the 550 hectare-forest now hosts abundant wildlife, including elephants, deer and tigers.
The movie “Forest Man” which highlights Jadav’s incredible life’s work won best documentary at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014.
