In 1998, Sebastião Salgado, a globally celebrated photographer, returned to Brazil after documenting the horrors of the Rwandan genocide. His return, however, was far from comforting. The once lush and vibrant land around his family’s farm in the Rio Doce Valley, Minas Gerais, had been reduced to a barren wasteland due to years of cattle farming. The devastation mirrored the bleakness in his heart. But his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, had a different vision—she saw hope in replanting the forest, as reported by Stories Corner. Her simple idea? “Why not plant trees?”
