AD Negi is a retired bureaucrat. He has voluntarily planted and nurtured a 65 ha of lush green forest in a cold dessert area of Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
. . . This man is an inspiration and a National Treasure to all around him.
I was wondering why this was in my feed, then I saw your comment and thought, "Hey I know that guy" haha. Glad to know we have similar taste, not just in Scotch.
D du how enlighten us ?
My neighbors cut down every tree in their backyard so that they can have a beautiful lawn. I'm talking over 10 acres of clear cut. IDIOTS!
@@MrZog-yv3be No, he restored a natural ecosystem that had been degraded by humans.
I'm from Himachal the same place he's from. Too bad that news and media, papers don't tell us about such people.
Where this place in Himachal I wanna go do the documentary on n do the photography of this beautiful landscape that made me nagi
I clearly agree with you. This is really an achievement, A step forward towards contributing in the Climate change which he did alone unlike anyone including me. I'm also from Himachal Pradesh, District Shimla. Kinnaur is a separate district to the upper side of Shimla. And this really needs to get acknowledged. What a man!
May God Bless him!
Could you try using social media to show what he's been doing?
It's all about the EU and the IPCC s agenda.. A bureaucracy's main purpose is to propagate its self. just a thought
Ofc they dont
Can you imagine what would happen if governments around the globe would take out 1% of their yearly military budget and would invest that in re-forestation in stead?
Exactly, has just been reported on the news this morning that Britain is second biggest arms exporter in the world, is totally shameful, aeroplanes could be used for dropping seedlings and saplings instead of bombs. I highly recommend people take full control and responsibility of their pensions and sell their shares in the evil and destructive arms industry and invest in ecology, forestry, sanitation, water, renewables, eliminating poverty etc.
I imagine that on that day it happens, it'll be raining candy.
That's right no military needed in this world today or any other time, no need to upgrade aging weapon systems to be able to win a modern war. We can all drink our unicorn milk and sniff angel farts all day long.
Bolo Yo Can you imagine what would happen if governments around the world would take out 10% of their annual salary and invested that into re-forestation instead? That would benefit them, their children and grandchildren as well as us. They can't see that's a more worthwhile investment than the Swiss banks!
@@mwillblade you peanut. All state on state violence is for the benefit of corporations. Have you not worked that out yet...fart sniffer.
We need noble prize to be actually for noble beings like him!
I agree with you, he should get an award for what he is doing for humanity.
You mean, you do not want to give ANOTHER Nobel prize to Barack Obama, the most wonderful world peace maker of all time?
Spot on, perfect
But unfortunately malala got that for no reason...!
His best award is his forest.
It's a shame that selfless dedication shown by people like Mr. Negi is not recognized or awarded by the Govt. All civilian awards go to the actors/singers and sportsmen who gain crores of rupees in income for the very act for which they are again awarded by the Govt. This man has volunteered for the task and is dauntlessly on the task which he has taken upon himself. Respect and regards from a fellow citizen who share your views.
Sahi hai bhai
Hes the true hero
Absolutely
Other people in India are doing the same but they are few. You should do some of the same, even in a small way or volunteer to help someone like him a few days a year. I'm an old woman (71) in the US and I have tried doing like him but in a smaller scale. It's now have a small forest. Sharing views is not enough.
Sreejith Bs iiiii
I'm playing with 7 pots on my balcony while this guy is terraforming the Himalayas.
I am barely keeping 1 plant alive.
lmaoooo
@@brucemiller1696 I can't even grow a plant... Even though I follow instructions..
Hell yes ! Start with the seven pots - and keep going!
Moral? Think big like AD Negi.
I am from Sri Lanka. Proud to be your neighbour, Sir!
We are also proud of Sri Lanka. You are our family
I love Sri Lanka Sir, peaceful country and great food.
Love u uncle💞💞❤💝 from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
@@limongarcia2758 LOL
We love you too Sri Lanka
Took early retirement and spent all his earnings to grow a 65hectare forest. Remains humble about it. Believes early failures are learnings. He would not even get a village level recognition.
Some "celebrity" shows sings a Bollywood song with ample amount of cleavage thrown in. Gets hours of media time and most likely a state award for "popularising Indian music".
That's life. One of the most famous charity workers was Mother Teresa who was especially known for her work with the poor of Kolkata. Her death got a brief mention in the press until news that the celebrity Princess Diana had died a few days later at which point Mother Teresa was totally ignored by the media.
Jesus said' build your riches in HEAVEN'
I bought a good bit of land in NW Nevada (USA) and I plan to do a similar thing after I retire. It is currently open range land and has nothing but sage brush and buffalo grass. Just because it takes a lot of work doesn't mean it cannot be done. Videos like this prove to me that it is possible.
Good luck sir, may you be successful in your quest
I think access to some forms of water is the key to all of this...without it,nothing this man did would have worked.
now dont go destroying plants that have been living there before you bought it just because "they dunt look puurdy" in your eyes.
i mean shit....the "useless" buffalo grass once hit above our heads in the old TRUE prairie.
If you really do this, can you make a blog showing your progress over time?
The UN and UNESCO should recognize that it’s people like these who make our future and award them at least a pension as well as prizes for the immense work they do !
The UN and UNESCO don't give a shit about people, they just want to hoard money. Imagine the Waffen-SS with silly uniforms - that's UN and UNESCO.
You mean the Useless Nations?
PAOLO RICCI The UN wants to kill most of us. It’s called Agenda 21. And also I think Agenda 30. They are not good people
Your talking about a government that doesn’t care and will forget who you are in a minute I agree but it’s pointless
Yes!
A hero we don't deserve but a hero we desperately need.
👍💪🌳🌳🌳🍎🍎🍎🍏🍊🍐🌅🌄
As humans we MUST do this wherever possible ALL OVER THE PLANET.
Well done, A D Negi !!
Am on it, planted fruit trees all around where I live and I don't even have a garden, spread the word, will increase the amount of free food available, reduce packaging and air miles, improve people s diet, what is there not to like , err someone will probably moan about a few wasps eating the apples. Also be great to restore wild flower meadows to encourage the pollinators and insects who's numbers are down. Aeroplanes can be used to drop seeds and or saplings(would need a design feature to penetrate the ground) to speed up the process.
I am all pumped up for my growing season! - Cherries this year, hopefully pears and plumbs!
He is not only watering those plants, but also my eyes.
mine too
Aw how sweet and so true
me too
me too
He who plants trees loves others besides himself.
My Grandpa used to say, someone who plants trees is thinking of the future.
Can you contact the president to see if you can put a funding for the desert of Texas Arizona New Mexico we need a lot of trees there but global warming is getting worse and worse thank you
@@jamesespinar6982 : James, can you be more specific? Regarding which areas and the number of square miles that you are talking about?
Thank you.
His selflessness might be even more impressive than his intelligence and dedication to improve the world around him. What an amazing guy.
Please some one study, everything this man has done, he's got valuable information, and it needs to be captured before it's gone ! .
It's sad that people don't study things like this. Is it just me or has it been a long time since society has shown to everybody a terraforming project?
Its permaculture. Not a secret--take a course. Everything he says to do is part of basic permaculture training.
Dirty hands clean soul God bless that man
This man is a hero, his program should be replicated around the world.
It should be.. PAID 4 by the government...
There are numerous efforts around the world that use a variety of methods to help with afforestation and greening deserts. Many of these are individuals doing it without incentives from governments. Some of these efforts use permaculture principles (more of a closed system approach) and rotation methods (nutrient cycling and seasonal approach). But the goal is clear and that is the transform a piece of terrain into an area of abundant flora and fauna species.
Let's start with INDIA first
True.
@@ToniM10
Stop relying on the government! Replicate the man's effort in your own back yard if you have one.
He is an inspirational man. Imagine what 2, 10, 100 more of him could achieve ? I hope there is someone who can take over from him when he is no longer able to carry on.
There are 7 billion people on the planet, if everyone planted a tree or perhaps 5 trees that would be 35 billion trees, it is a construct that is PRO-creation rather than the present lawless construct of consumption and convenience.
His legacy will survive after him if the area is able to support those pants (and no one cuts them down)
My sincere Respect to this amazing human being.
Nature would give him an award, if it had a voice or any vote.
Long live AD Negi.
I'll bet he has all the award he's interested in.
What a crap reward.
Well done fine sir, I take my hat off to you.
I too have started my own tree planting mission in New Zealand.
Vampyro I would love to help you 👍👍👍👍✨🌿💚🌿✨
I would love to volunteer.
I'm from the Philippines.
cool! Where can one learn more?
@@mjd_13 Yeah! Nice try !
@@etherospike3936 Truly, can I?
Great. These are real hero's and celebraty. I m from Ladakh and we have one person called Ven. Sanga sena. He turned a desert into a village with trees, all kinds of fruits, flowers. Not only this He has schools, hostels, oldage home, meditation centres, hospital and many other things there. He also really deserve Barat Ratna
RIP sir , you were an inspiration to all of us.
RIP? 🥺🥺 what happen
@@Hakunamatata-me5ih he's resting on heaven now my friend.
Rest In peace, Sir, Hope his friends or family continues this restoration of nature
This man should be emulated. He is the epitome of a visionary human being of what he wants to achieved in this natural world. Thumbs up.
It is a strange thing to say that this man should be emulated. Surely that is true yet there was a time when what this man is doing was just one of thousands upon thousands. What changed? In a word, regulation. Regulation wrought of expansive government. What should be said is that government should be confined. Then, it is not 'government' which is the culprit, it is the people within the government. The individuals within government who seek to promote expanding regulation, is they who should bare our scorn.
Yeah man, everyone should start buying land and planting it full of trees!
Yes he should be emulated while at the same time you should know that he is one of very many.
There are many countries that are willing to give you land 2 cultivate and or farm
We need people like Negi Sahab in this world.
Here Pakistan Government is making efforts to plant coniferous forest in our side of Himalayas and Hindukush but what Negi Sahab is doing surpasses everything that is ever done in this regard. Nothing but respect and prayers for this man. May he live longer and healthy life.
Haseeb Khan we need only we will not become...sorry to say but true...
It's because he has a passion to accomplish this. How many governments really care. The things they do do are just a minimum so they can been seen as doing "something" when the people ask what are they doing to fix a "problem".
please look up permaculture and early retirement extreme
Haseeb Khan, Pakistan sold trees to china, forest wasa destroyed ? that was in POK ? destruction for money ?
pak! govt are criminal terr0rists and nothing more. they don't plant trees.
souls like him give me so much hope in our world. what an amazing man
I’m from Sri Lanka and have been to Himachal. Himachal is my favorite place on earth. After the pandemic ends, I will try my best to meet you sir. I would love to help you with your work and learn from you. I’m so proud of what you are doing and I want to be someone like you one day.
This man is a hero and a leader for humanity. If we can humble ourselves to follow such leadership, we may yet turn around the destruction we are causing to the fertility and viability of life for humans on Earth. We have stripped the earth of her green cover. Trees are the lungs of the Earth. They hold the soil in place and create habitat for so much life. We must follow this man and people like him to stabilize the weather and hydrological cycles on Earth, and to reverse the desertification that is rapidly spreading across the Earth.
Carole - Deserts rise because of mountain location and air circulation - not from human activity. Desertification can partially be blamed on humans with the loss of grazing animals that that leave manure, trample the ground, spread seed and build a fertile base. Deserts affect weather very little.
please look up permaculture and early retirement extreame
look up intensive rotational grazing
not only trees we have removed precious soil too. thats why there are floods now.
Capitalism and western style democracy is going to destroy the world , and remember that western people who don,t care about other nations will destroy the world .
“He who planteth a tree and reareth a child hath not lived in vain”.
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
It’s funny because they say nowadays that the most environmentally unfriendly thing you can do is to bring a child into the world.
But rearing a child that already exists and needs parents is extremely noble.
This man has set the agr world on its ears. This man should get a nobel prize.
Inspirational.. Media should highlight his achievement. Govt should award him
The State is not greater than the Individual.
The Individual is greater than the State.
Careful the internationalists will have you off the gulags quick smart to sort out your attitude problem. You will learn to love big brother.
A benevolent State is far greater than a wicked individual. Your statement as a generality is not true. And potentially worse than that.

I always make sure that kids in my family watch these videos. This is more important than what they learn in the schools.
Congratulations old young man .He is working for the welfare of humanity. Thanks for his inspiring efforts. I am a retired Teacher from Nangal Dam from Punjab.
They are the real heroes the future will definitely see and relish their achievements.
This man should be nominated for an Novel prize, since his actions and dedication is an example to all of us.
This is just one man
Imagine if we all did this!
Inspirational!!
Thank for the video.
Amazing work now that should be a true nobel peace prize
What dedication, what inspiration. Thanks Mr. Negi
Hats off to this man ❣️
This is true I have done this and I always thank God for the rain!
A Paradise in the middle of nowhere....
Repsect to AD Negi!
Hats off God bless you sir
We MUST hear more about such heros. Thank you TH-cam! Blessings and peace to this gentleman. He ought to be given a Nobel Prize so he can use some of the prize money for his work
Imagine walking in the dawn like a proud father watching his children. 🍺
❤️❤️
Sir I salute your work. Hope government recognizes you with a Padmashri Award
This man is doing the nicest job.
RESPECT 👏👏👏👏👏👏
There are a few good CEO's, but in general, this guy is worth 20 (100?) of 'em. We need many more people like him. I commend him so much for his efforts.
I am from Himchal, I am very proud of our hero.
There are others unsung heros among us who meeds more recognition.
Mr Negi Mother Earth is thanking you for your efforts to save mother earth. You are an ideal like Sonam Wangchuk. May God bless you health so that you continue you noble work.
Kind words. This short article, available around the world in more than 1000 languages, may be of interest to you:

Respect love and support for this guy
No chemicals, all natural...damn good, smart work Sir.
Salute to the guy. The sacrifice of job, earnings and time makes him a mahatma.
Amazing! I wonder if any animals moved in yet.
i bet so!
I hope so
Birds must have
Water can't be smelled, you mean the dirt it carries. I know, this is akin to the conversation about: Is there a God?
Animals likely where there before but it's likely more now frequent the area. The vegetation would provide for slightly larger animals
Love you Negi Sir for your passion.
This man is amazing... 💕
What a lovely documentary on such an inspiring selfless individual. Your a hero sir and a role model. The world needs more of these people The knowledge of land management is with the local indigenous people. Just as the Australians have now accepted. The Aboriginal people had for thousands of years managed the land in a way to reduce bushfires
This man is the kind of humans humanity needs!
Thanks for sharing such a good news story. To think that a man in retirement is willingly taking on such an important project is just inspiring!
Thats amazing.. from dead sand to forest ! These knowledges are very important and key to healthy life in futur in any dry country.. may be one of the most important long term thing to do now in many inhabited dry places !
He used natural methods supplied from nature to get a natural reaction. Amazing!!
regular, early access irrigation water is natural? Without that even he admitted he wasn't doing well.
Thanks for providing such knowledgeable videos
I've been reading and a lot of people say "we need people like him" but I don't see them saying "I will do at least something". As to depending on people who have a "lot of free time", get real. people like him and me, (read what I'm doing also, an old woman thousands of miles away) have VERY little of free time because we are working alone and seeds don't plant themselves and plants and trees need care when they are first planted. A few people helping, at least a few hours would be welcomed by him and me.
1caramarie
that people about you talk named " emotional Moskito" .... it is like when it comes to courage, only few person
help. The rest like hmm "he made that" but i show that to the end.
I already have reforested our property. I would not go back to a naked lawn.
That's a good reminder.
I'm probably far away from either of you, but it's a good reminder that basically the world needs *us*, in whatever way we can do it.
HA, exactly! Wishful dreams. I am a single 70 year old woman farmer. Just two acres but that two acres I have been working on 8-10 hours a day for 15 years. Sometimes I think "I can't do this". Then God gives me more Strength.....and on I go. I now have 40 nut and fruit trees, a lot of hydroponic vegetables and fruits. When I look out over my desert property where there was once just scrub brush is now a small desert oasis. God is Good.
A small story though. I tried over and over to have what I call interns here. They come with bright faces and have absolutely no clue, no idea how much work this takes. There are no sick days. The work goes on no matter what. And over the years they came and went and I realized I was spending more time trying to teach them basic facts of life let alone how to be a successful farmer. Plus there was not the Harmony I was used to when I did this alone. So I don't do that anymore. I do it alone. I scaled back a little, but Harmony and Peace are restored.
One man created forest... Why nobody helped him even after seeing some growth ❤️🔥🎉👍🙏
he has 2 volunteer assistants now.
Wow! What one man can do is Amazing, Thank You for your Dedication, and Contribution to Our World, Amazing
mashallah, what a great role model, this is the type of people we should be looking up to and striving to be like
This made my day. Negi sahab aapko shat shat Pranam.
💚Thank you for creating & sharing Mr Negi’s story! I love the Earth 🌏 conifers are one of the most beautiful living plants 🌲🌲🌲they dance, perfume the air & support hundreds of lives PER tree 🌲
Oh my. This reminds of a Trigun episode where those two old farmers managed to regenerate a small ecosystem in nothing but desert land and lives happily. Love this
Salute to this great man.!! Proud to call him our citizen..!!..we should all learn something from such a great human being...!! May god bless him.!!
This is an incredible thing, and an incredible man.
Really enjoyed the video. I'm an old person (73 now). 15 years ago I move into a property that was all planted with lawn (useless grass that is hard to get rid of and animals or insects don't eat). I asked permission from my town and they gave it to me. Today, it is a small forest full of birds, butterflies, beneficial insect, small animals, with many kinds of fruits and wild edibles, sitting in the middle of an entire town of useless lawns. It took me 14 years, but I am very proud and happy with what it is now. There are flowers, of many colors, everywhere right now and native bees pollinating them and the fruits.
Omg salute s to the legendary pure souls of this nation🙏😍
Man like him are real heroes of indian republic all those corrupt politician and ignorant people are only destorying the nation. Youngsters in major metropolitan cities will never understand the nature and its beauty and value.
I totally agree, they are bending towards technology and ignoring the green that gets destroyed everyday.
Don't say never. Perhaps one day they will understand.
Amazing...! We need people like Mr. Negi. We really need down to earth, dedicated and idea-implementing grass root level workers like him, more than we need scientists. He is no less important than Louis Pasteur or Albert Einstein.
I really respect people like Mr. Negi but unfortunately they are really rare. I would implore you to recognise value in different fields differently. Apples and oranges are both fruits but they are nothing like each other.
Why not become one like him?
mr ambwani after watching this i planted ten plants ... how many u planted
Way to go sir! Great job!
If only there where more people like this man,the planet would be saved . Trees and all plants also bring insects and all the wonderful wild life needed to keep our whole planet alive,God bless him.
Wow wow wow what a clever man, very inspirational 👏👏👏
I feel love and gratitude for this man, his vision and his work. Earth benefits from his life.
संस्कृति , साइंस और समर्पण का अद्भुत संगम । हृदय से साधुवाद
Thank you for the reminder that humanity still exists!! ❤🌎
Respect Mr. AD Negi and thank you for sharing your work with us.
it's nice when someone's planting trees instead of like everyone else cutting them down. good job dude....
May you live a long happy life my brother!
Love and respect from south Africa.
We need more people like this man 👌
Or we can become those people
Heartwarming ❤️
These are true heroes. Not how much money they had accumulated in their lifetime. But how much good they had done for nature, their neighbor, environment, nature and mankind alike. Salute.
So he practically provided proof of concept of terraforming :) We need more people like him.
Good example for *how one person can have a very positive impact* on the environment.
It can be done by all of us, if we have personal motivation and purpose.
this men is genious m working as a junior engineer in irrigation dept. in Pooh kinnaur...and his self dedication to his work is great nd appreciable..nd his next project is construction of Snow harvesting structure at thankarma which our department is executing ..... nd construction will completed in this season
Is it done by now
How is the status
What mean by snow harvesting..!?
WOW. Fantasic video, Thank you.
Legend ... literally a true legend like others sir when you leave this Earth you know you have done good ❤️
God bless him and his family. I hope he stays healthy and strong. He is amazing. Nothing is impossible ifyou persevere.
A great man
One man’s work! With no money support from no one, no charities.
One man!
This guy is a legend 🙏🙏🙏❤️
