Ultimately, TruthForce.Works will rewild, that is bring back the indigenous biodiversity of a degraded, abused, largely barren land where, in the past, trees were abundant. Ideally the land would be a watershed or drainage basin , in other words any rain that fell onto the land would all drain toward near a penitentiarydream of a to rewild (preferably in an English or Spanish speaking country) with the permission and blessings of the local community/ies. In this dream, a community of people dedicated to the principles of ahimsa, work together to bring back the indigenous flora and fauna, practicing and co-cultivating Nonviolent Communication and the active engaged love, better known as Ghandian/Kingian nonviolence. I imagine co-creating a retreat and educational center through which visitors, teachers and students pass practices permaculture and veganism. I imagine love warriors in the penitentiary co-cultivating these principles with the incarcerated and the staff. I imagine those in the penitentiary supporting our effort to rewild by acting as a nursery that grows the needed indigensou seedlings and saplings.
restore a destroyed Brazilian forest by planting 2 million trees .
There are a growing number of examples of successful rewilding. Pamela and Anil Malhotra rewilded what started as 55 barren acres in India, which resulted in wild elephants and tigers re-entering the land, and resulted in 300 acres of renewed biodiversity. Anil Malhotra passed in November, 2021. Kristine McDivitt Tompkins and her late husband Doug Tompkins bought and restored the grasslands, the forests, and the waterways of large swaths of land in Chile and Argentina. Jadav Payeng, sometimes known as the Forest Man of India, spent 30 years planting trees all by himself, creating a forest with its wildlife of 1,300+ acres (1.6 times the size of Central Park in New York City).
If this dream resonants with you, please speak up.
