In 1994 social documentary photographer Sebastião Salgado took over family land in Minas Gerais, Brazil. But instead of the tropical paradise he remembered as a child, the trees were cut down and there were no wild animals left. This combined with his last assignment - reporting on the genocide in Rwanda - left him devastated.⁠
+⁠
His wife came up with an idea - why not recruit partners, raise funds and restore the forest? And so they did.⁠
+⁠
Now, about two decades later, the results of their long and hard work are evident. Almost 3 million trees have completely transformed the environment.⁠
+⁠
Many species found a home in the new Salgado forest. Of the 127 bird species identified, six are endangered. There are also 33 species of mammals, two of which are endangered worldwide, 15 species of amphibians, 15 species of reptiles and 293 species of plants.⁠
+⁠
Even after their success, the Salgado’s aren’t planning to stop any time soon. Their next goal is to increase the number of plant and animal species beyond their land and increase biodiversity in the region around it.⁠

Writer Erin Foster has been sharing links to teachers’ wish lists on her Instagram since 2020. Anyone who sees her posts can help teachers with school supplies for struggling students for the upcoming school year.

First-grade teacher Erin Fuller-Wellman, shared her list on her Facebook in the hopes that someone will donate the needed items, but she had no luck. Recently, she also submitted her Amazon wish list to Foster's website.
+
"There were hundreds of other teachers’ wishlists, so I knew it was a shot in the dark, but I put mine on there anyway," Fuller-Wellman commented.
+
One day, a couple of weeks ago, she opened her front door and there were 10 boxes on her porch - surprising, since she hadn’t ordered any of them.
+
"I open the first box and it’s full of books,” Fuller-Wellman wrote in a post. “I think, ‘I wonder who sent these?’ At the bottom, there’s a note, ‘Here is to your best year, yet! Thank you for choosing to teach, you have the most important job in the world,’ from .garner .”
