💬 “We have never been hungrier to win. We have learnt from every success but also every setback. We continue to chase our dreams, we continue to fight no matter the challenge and we will win again.”
Couldn’t have said it any better, LH. 🙏
Not only he gave us timeless imagery through this photography, he also wanted a bright future for the next generations by keeping our planet alive. Remarkable man.
In the early 1990s, Brazilian photojournalist Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado was stationed in Rwanda to cover the genocide, an experience that left him traumatized.
In 1994, upon returning to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Sebastião hoped to find solace in the lush green forest of his childhood. Instead, he discovered that his home had transformed into a dusty, barren land stretching for miles, devoid of any wildlife.
"The land was as sick as I was. Only about 0.5% of the land was covered in trees," he remarked.
At this time, his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, proposed that they embark on the ambitious journey of replanting the entire forest. Sebastião supported the idea, and together, over the course of the next 20 years, they planted an astonishing 2.7 million trees.
Their efforts resulted in the rejuvenation of 1,500 acres of rainforest, and the site eventually became home to 293 plant species, 172 bird species, and 33 animal species, some of which were on the brink of extinction.
I can’t believe he’s not only saying that about his teammate, but joke about AD? Sit down and preserve your career yourself, there was nothing to save in the first place.
