the story begins. In 1979, the 16 year old India boy, Jadav Payeng, saw a strange sight. Where he was born, in the Assam Region of northeastern India, the flood brought countless snakes to Assam. After the flood, thousands of snakes were dying on the shore, which changed his whole life.
"all the snakes died because they were too hot, because the sandbars were not covered by trees at that time. I sat on the shore and stroked the corpse of the withered snake and cried involuntarily. It was like a massacre. I went to the government's forest management department to ask if I could plant trees on the sandbanks. They replied to nothing on the sandbar, but said I could try all kinds of bamboos. It was a very painful process. I had no support at all, but in the end I did it.
