When we say environmental activist Jadav Molai Payeng many might not recognize him. But if we say, 'Forest Man of India' then everyone will recognize him. He has invested 30 years to turn the sandbar of the river Brahmaputra into a forest reserve.

His dedication and unbelievable work is all set to inspire the students in the United States as his life story was added to the list of lessons for class sixth students in the nation.

The local American media quoted the academicians who incorporated Jadav Molai Payeng's life story in the academic curriculum as saying what difference can we make in nurturing nature.

The topic is very much related to the United States as the nation is at the top place which contributes to the plastic waste which adulterates the ecosystems on the planet.

Jadav Molai Payeng, who witnessed a degradation in the ecological system in the Majuli island that is located in eastern Assam started planting trees on the sandbar, which was a barren land then.

All his efforts eventually turned the barren land into the world's largest man-made forest reserve. The reserve is spread across 550 hectares of land.

The man-made deep forest is now home to several wild animals like Elephants, deer, rhinos, tigers, and other animals.
