The Results of a Food Forest
*

And then there was "Jadab Mulai Payeng" who worked over 30 years, selfishly and by himself to transform 1,360 acres (approx. 2 square miles) of a barren, lifeless sandbar into a lush jungle which now harbors not only many species of birds, butterflies and snakes and also provides a home for rhinos, tigers and elephants. The forest is comprised of many species of flora and bamboo as well as several thousand trees among which are Valcol, Arjun, Ejar, Goldmohur, Koroi and Himolu.  Regular yearly visitors to the forest include a herd of 100 or so elephants who generally stay for around six months. In recent times, the forest also provided a birthing place for their 10 calves.
