This Couple Nursed a Rainforest Back to Life
What was once 300 acres of coffee and cardamom fields in India’s Southern Ghats is now lush native forest, all thanks to the hard work and dedication of Pamela Gale Malhotra and her husband Anil. The couple started India’s first private wildlife sanctuary, SAI sanctuary, and for the past two decades they have been nursing the land back to life. Here’s how they did it.

perioooot
Imagine how beautiful the whole world would be if we cared about the animals and the earth
I know right
By not doing so, we got the coronavirus
i love you random person
I love nature but I scared at small creatures like worm 😰
That would be amazing and incredible
These are the kind of people that should lead world superpowers
not at all
hmmm yeah, let's let the plant people rule our country
Mathew Stopka Better than trump
they would legalize weed though
They usually don't have interest in politics
I wish there was more people like this
But these people only do little for the world. Such passion is needed in the big citys. There are the problems.
Dominik Wusa actually large dense cities are not bad, its the towns surrounding it that contribute to most of the energy use and gas emmisions. Living in a compact city forces people to live a little greener by using less water and electricity. everything is closer to each other so there's less distance a car has to travel. the amount of land a city takes is less than rural areas, allowing for less deforestation, leaving the areas it doesn't take up unharmed
Sounds like you have a point there.
Voldermort BUTT Not disagreeing with you or anything, just wondering: why do cities tend to have so much smog around them, then? Is it because all the traveling & the high populations are condensed to that one area?
we can be these people :)
People like these 2 deserve to exist on planet Earth. Lots of Respect. True Inspiration.
if i am a billionaire i will do this 😍😍😍 ill buy lands just to plant trees and protect wild life... this is goals thank you madam 😍😍😍😍
i hope you can be billionaire really soon...😄
Same here. I would plant rainforests with some tree farms.
Till then enjoy, or turn a 100 sqft in to a garden or grow your veggies in your balcony instead of decorative flowers
That's one of the main reasons I want to be rich, plant my own forests across the world, make a differencec for everyone and sue any logging company that dare touches it for everything they have.
Dear aspirants.....here I would like to recall on quote....."if you don't write when you don't have time,you wont write when you have time"..... everything thing starts with a single step.to plant a tree/protect animals,u need not to be billionaire....try to do something as u can.......much love from kerala(india)...
you are not crazy.. the people who told you that are not only crazy but also stupid to highest level.. keep it up u inspire us to be aware and take care nature.
How in the world do you guys find these incredible people?
Benjamin Johnson they follow news networks that shows positive development in each country
Welcome to bharat 🇮🇳🙏🕉
Wow why can't everyone have this kind of love and respect for nature seriously
Wow... They are absolutely my inspiration! I also have a dream to restore Borneo rainforest. It was a sickening experience when I saw clear sky turns gray, burned leaves drops from the sky, and the locals told you that it's the time when people start to open new fields for palm oil. Even kids were amused to see raging fire and parents didn't prohibit kids to get closer. I could not avoid to breath smoke before it extinguished. The main problem is a severe drop in raw rubber prices and oil palm seems more promising, because the locals will get paid by palm oil company for each tons of it. Some issue told that Indonesian raw rubber is bad. Affluent landowner would start turn their rubber plantations into oil palm plantations, buy one to two trucks, and employ young men who could not get a better job outside the village because of low education and skills. I remembered an elder asked me, "Do you mind if some men follow you home untill they get a job?" I could send you photos of burned forest so you could believe my experiences.
I'm so glad that people are saving the rainforest
And somehow the cactus I got for my birthday died....
How did it die?
Jay-M I feel ya man I feel ya
I think I watered it, then it drowned.
I probably am an idiot, I don't really have the green thumb.
Lol its alright, cacti don't need much water. At least you'll know next time ^^
Wow, what the two of you have done is incredible achievement. If the world had more people like you, we would have a more amazing world to live in. Thank you so much for what you have done for our environment, the wildlife and our planet!!

People like this should get subsidized. They shouldn't lead world superpowers, but they deserve to get the money they need without having to bring much of their own. There should be an industry around rebuilding this kind of environmental damage in the first place.
We need to make jobs that promote building up the environment rather building miles of concrete structures
Ichthusk Fantastic idea.
Agreed.
I support whole heartedly....if it weren't for such people, there would be very little time for others on this earth.
These People are true heros
"I've never felt this kind of joy in anything else that I've done in my life" these words were really pleasing after their mammoth work.
this restored my faith in humanity
Great Work Pamela and Anil. Proud to have you guys in our India, Karnataka. Basically I'm also from Karnataka. Love this Channel.♥
These are the real relationship goals ❤️ Thank you so much both of you.
We need more people like this in Brazil and Indonesia. I'm Indian btw and I am proud of my people. We must save the earth
If you are able to do something like this, then you have it all. Beautiful.
We need more people like these couples
First came the grasses, they came in.... beautiful
thank you, pamela and anil. your births, works, and life are the gift for the nature.
People like this help save the planet. This is awsome
Free, kind, and humble. They are really great people doing something very helpful. I don't think that can be called crazy. Maybe in a good way.
Shake my head there's people out here reviving a rainforest and I can't even revive my grades.
em ! You’re right! I’m not in college studying for my IT degree
@@DerpxGames how’s it going right now?
@@theelilac113 pretty good getting an IT job next month!
@@DerpxGames good luck!
Beautiful souls like these are very few in the world.People rarely think about forests and the calm it provides.
The sad part is, even though this is amazing, pretty soon people are going to cut it down like how the Amazon Rainforest is pretty much the Amazon Desert
its a sanctuary .___.
Won't be for long .___.
CJ Fripp Think that, you mean? But he's right anyway. It could happen. Maybe when we overpopulate too much.
LunarSkyWolf7 well the concentrate on the solution instead of focusing on something that hasn't even happened yet
Shaury Gautam the amazon rainforest isn't gone. It's mostly there.
Such amazing souls. Such great humans.
love from India . Love this channel
NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS IN THE WORLD
I have no plan to move to Marsh but be here and take inspiration from you to replicate your work even if it is of little percent. Thank you and keep doing the great work.
Made my day.. wonderful human beings... what a wonderful purposeful life created by them... Beautiful... Thank you Pamela and Anil... Thank you for the generations to come...🙏
Now these are the people that are saving this planet that lets be honest, most of us gave up on. They just seem so sweet
This is why I love this channels. Real amazing stories!
Need more people like them....
I hope hunters don't wander into there or people that'll start hacking the trees 😐 the work that they did is so precious

Such an amazing story.
People like this is true inspiration
That's great! Don't stop there.
World needs this kind of people
This is truly amazing..
This feeds my soul.....and the soul of the our beautiful Planet.
my country needs people like you 😢😢
Beautiful! Thank you to your wonderful people.
Beautiful work!
Great story. I have tried to do something similar in a micro area in Minnesota. It used to be a 1/3 acre of lawn in the middle of town. It is now a growing little forest, full of birds and native bees (no, not honey bees they are European, although they do show up). Many of the small trees have shown up on their own and the native plants I planted are expanding and birds are bring in more seeds. It looks nothing like before. I did get permission from the town, in 2005, because I knew some people would complain and they did.
You should be very proud. An important accomplishment few can say they have done
You are amazing! Thank you.
Amazing...Thank you for giving us hope..Hope many more such private sanctuaries come up by inspired people like them 👏👏👏
I wish there were more people like this. They're incredible.
This is amazing! I love this channel!
How beautiful this
This makes me very teary-eyed and happy.
Your the people who inspire the world
Amazing work done! Such beautiful forest! and all that LIFE! Love it! Love them! Thank you!....

This is so inspiring , see that we can help heal the earth.
Ty. ❤️
fantastic.. i think alot of people would like to be doing what you do.
so inspiring
Amazing vision. Amazing success.
It's positive yet willing to mention real problems all the time, that's why it's extremely relevant because it shows real humans dealing with issues on the side of actions, commitment, rather than fantasizing about the possibilities in theory. Great to use as teaching material. Love, love, love.
WOW.Amazing work
Wow what a story ❤️excellent! 👍
I sure as hell hope the couple extensively documented their work, because the whole world is gonna need those notes.
That is more than life achievement the best gift you can give to mother earth, creating a forest that is something.
Amazing work.... I also feel the same kind of joy for conservation of nature
I am sor proud to see such bright knowledgable people in india. it gives me hope that all is not that bad. i hope people can follow the example to restore the land the subcontienent back to its original forest state. i hope it happens as we were the land of forest and rivers. not plains.
Great Big LOVE Story
I really wanted, want and will do something like this before I die...........bless this couple!!!!
It's so so beautiful, meaningful.
HEartwarming. A true role models to follow doing things that really matter, not just people who post vanity on social media.
Thank you!!!🙏🏻
Plants and animals bring so much positive energy into your surrounding! It is extremely hard to imagine life without them. I just wish that in my lifetime, I could do the same... God BLESS YOU! :)
So inspiring, I wanna do that in my country when I have enough money for land >
Wow this is the heaven the much needed and ultimate destination of mankind

Amazing! Keep it up! All the best! Stay safe!!
Wow soo beautiful place
