The Forest Man Of Assam Jadav Payeng, widely known as the “Forest Man of Assam,” has spent over four decades transforming a lifeless sandbar into a flourishing 1,360-acre forest. His journey began in 1979 when, as a teenager, he witnessed the damage caused by erosion and extreme heat on wildlife along the Brahmaputra River in Assam. He found hundreds of Snakes dead on a barren sandbar ~ killed by heat because there were no trees for shade. Moved by what he saw, he began planting trees ~ starting with bamboo ~ one sapling at a time. Over the years, his dedication gave birth to the Molai Forest, now a rich ecosystem that supports wildlife like Bengal Tigers, Indian Rhinoceros, and even herds of over 100 Elephants. In February 2026, he was honored with the Assam Nakshatra Award for his extraordinary contribution to environmental conservation. Despite challenges, he remained committed to his mission and continues to advocate for protecting nature. His story proves that even a single person, with patience and purpose, can restore balance to nature and inspire a greener future. Jadav, you are a true hero 🙏.

Remember: dolphins should be in the ocean, not in tiny tanks where they are forced to act for human entertainment. 💔 Never visit marine parks.

Ignorance for all to see
This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬 There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬 Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬 (Shared from Instagr*m with permission from 'swansofhampsteadheath')

I've always been a critic of the UK's bloated and wasteful welfare system; then stories like this make you realise how lucky we are. How can we help these families? BBC News - Selling children to survive: Afghan fathers forced to make impossible choices bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0q2…

Who needs stable governments! Even the IMF tends to forget that the state is incapable of creating wealth. Only businesses and entrepreneurs can do that. Legislators should stay well clear. BBC News - UK growth forecast upgraded by IMF but risks remain bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2p…

As the weather warms, look out for the wee beasties, especially spiders, that find themselves stuck in our wash basins or toilets. Don’t turn the tap on or flush before checking. If you see one in trouble, use a small glass and a piece of paper to lift it to a safe spot. Thanks!

An annual reminder: don’t spray spring dandelions with Roundup. One flower can be visited by 100 bees in a day, and those chemicals can kill them all. 🌻
