Farmer Manuel is over 60 years old and fully retired, yet he continues to plant trees. Not for himself, but for future generations. He remembers how rich the landscapes of his home region once were - now he feels it’s his turn to give back to nature and to those coming after him.
Thanks to follower Druidward for noticing:
At 4:15, the translation is wrong. He said: "[...] we have a book of 70 PAGES on practices of regenerative agriculture." , not "70 PRACTICES".

More trees for Spain 👍🏼
If only more people had this vision in mind. So thoughtful.
There is no great vision here, no new thinking, its all just plant trees, simplistic system thinking and there will be no different results to what others have tried in the past to heal the environment. The country of Spain and any other country in the world that are located in a brittle environment, will keep deteriorating until they understand how to deal with complexity.
The ocean is not natural.
This is all the water from all the forests burnt, cut down, or source of water exposed to the air when the mountains were destroyed by erosion.
Then the glaciers melting with all the pyrocumulus created by the fire of the humans...
You have NO IDEA how the earth has been destroyed, this is far beyond what you can imagine.

You are wrong beyond belief. Parasitic mindset.
@@jackabean3080 okay?
Just a comment for the algorithm - good work, Ecosia!
Thanks
@@Ecosia Saben dónde puede encontrarse el libro de 70 páginas que menciona sobre la agricultura regenerativa?
Muy interesante, hasta me da ansiedad ver esas montañas peladas, sin nada de cobertura vegetal.. me encantaría participar en una de esas campañas de reforestación
And another one
Me too 🙋🏼♀️
Glad to know there are people in my country (Spain) who are taking action to solve Spain's drought problems.
So sorry to bother you but there is a YT channel, Granja Caimito who is building and greening his farm. Maybe that's something for you.
If every human being thinks like him, this world will be a better place to live 🙏🙏
yes, but the people are bad mf
99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999998760%
Start with the monetary system and the small tribe that controls it. All problems emanate from that!
One in ten would be more than enough to bring about huge change! That would then inspire more and more to join in. Coming together in community with the common purpose of leaving a legacy for the children, is a powerful message if we all voice it!!
Human nature being what it is:
We don't so much need more who think like him but more who _act_ like him.
I'm an agriculturist and I hope to do as good as this man has done for his community and out planet! ❤️
Thanks for watching and for your agricultural practices :) Cheers!
you will! i believe in you
Como español que soy, este video me ha emocionado mucho, saber que hay gente asi en nuestro pais es como un rayo de esperanza.
Hi there, not in Spanish but certainly in Spain, this is a starting project YT channel Granja Caimito
I wonder who disliked a video of an old man helping out the world by planting trees
He made me smile and have more faith in humanity 😊
The interesting part in my opinion is the fact, that the landscape and weather influence each other.
Well observed, J K. Perhaps this video would interest you too: th-cam.com/video/ylkWpE89nn8/w-d-xo.html
This is an inspiration. Planting in that area not only helped the soil, the animals, and the air, it also helped the people.
I love this video! I really believe that regenerative agriculture can save the planet.
Thanks for watching, Ali! Perhaps this video would be interesting to you too? th-cam.com/video/TPkXAi_IKwQ/w-d-xo.html
As a Spanish person, thank you for helping our country! I've been using ecosia for a while, but now I have even more reasons to do so :)
Hi there, maybe the YT channel Granja Caimito is something for you.
The sad reality was that young people living there accepted the poor landscape as it is because they never had the chance to see it as green as Manuel saw it before. Thankfully, Manuel is bringing the greenery back the way he and his ancestors had lived with.
It's unbelievable that a country like spain is not producing its own food because of bad agricultural decisions.
Thank you that 1 person has the clarity in thinking like this.
Precision farming is thing.
Bravo Manuel pour vos actions que je soutiens car je suis d'origine espagnole et sensibilisée aux problèmes de désertification.
Je soutiens également Ecosia pour toutes ses actions de reboisement et de sensibilisation du public..bravo, continuez!
Ole Manuel! Bien hecho y muy bien explicado. Hay futuro en el campo.
Only when natural disasters strike that we all realise how important and crucial trees are to the health of the planet. Once again thank you Ecosia.
Make green the new black!
I though Europeans were the now black.
I always love hearing stories of people who are doing the work to save so much. He's right when he says "People think it's always been this way, so they accept it"
We have to remind ourselves of the beauty our planet is capable of. The beauty that we can actively be a part of and that will improve our lives in so many ways.
I really admire people who care not only about themselves but for the next generations. Thank you for everything you do, Manuel! I'll keep using Ecosia to help plant more trees around the world.
Very impressive, as long as we have people like this there is hope for a brighter future
Always gives me hope seeing people like him and knowing there are many more like him.
Exactly my view. I don't live in a degraded landscape but I am researching food security without degrading the landscape. I will build a forest that provides a diverse array of food for me and the wildlife.
Bravo Ecosia! I've had your app installed for about 2 years - courtesy of a recommendation from the Jimmy Dore Show - I am busy detoxing my life for my grandsons future. This man is an inspiration - your projects are inspirational - thank you x
It's great to see that something as simple as searching the internet can help save the planet.
Of course Ecosia itself is a beautiful project.
Here I want to say I'm also a big fan of the video-concept. Just letting the local guy talk about what's going on. Focussing on the size of the problem, but definitely also showing his vision of a better future and how to work towards it day by day.
Truly inspiring.
Well said Cleyn, Well I’m Grace what about you?
So important to plant and keep the trees! Muchas gracias por concienciar a la gente!
May we all be so devoted to healing the earth. This rules.
I wish more people would think and act like him.
Brilliant! Just brilliant!
He is just one man making a massive impact.
Agreed, that you and I can do the same..
A+ video. I greatly enjoyed it. I was part of a regenerative agriculture initiative in Andalusia and I loved your documentation of this incredible man. Great job Ecosia!
¡Qué orgullo te da a veces ser español! Un proyecto increíble.
Mis respetos D. MANUEL, es Ud. todo un ejemplo de compromiso social, sensatez y de sabiduria ecologica. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU LABOR👏👏👏👏
I humbly applaud abybody prepared to do this incredibly important work. There surely can be no more a noble thing than reforestation of barren land.
There is an award winning short animation called The man who planted trees. It's good.
Also, thank you Ecosia.
All I have to do is continue using the Internet with Ecosia and I can help save the planet? Amazing.
115 million trees, one more every 0.8 seconds. As an onion, I approve
Unfortunately, that value has decreased. Now its 1 tree every 1.3 seconds. I dont know why
@@EBBKouper due to covid-19 crisis, advertisers invested less in advertising through Ecosia. And because of that Ecosia had to plant less trees than before.
@@EBBKouper Hi there! Thanks for watching (and for paying such close attention to our tree counter). Here's a note on that on our blog: blog.ecosia.org/a-note-on-our-tree-counter/
@@Ecosia interesting
And they are monitored to make sure they get care to stay alive!
Very inspiring, hope this project reaches other regions of the Iberian Peninsula ! Great job Ecosia and their partners !
Muchas gracias por su esfuerzo en hacer el mundo de un lugar mejor! 💚🌳
¡Gracias Valerie!
beautiful story, thank you. it was a great idea to use different varieties of a almond trees to suit the local climate, i hope more farmers can think outside the box like this
Thanks for watching, Liz and thanks for your comment. Glad to hear you liked the video, we'll keep sharing stories form our partners. Have a great start to the week.
Inspiring Manuel! I have seen first hand the south east Spanish landscape and it been very badly treated.. Very good to see Manuel rengerating his land because it can be such a beautiful place with trees , native plants and lots of biodiversity! Thank you.
His retired and he is old,
But he still keeps the word safe
- Me.
It's just it's beautiful that's what it is thankyou Manuel and Ecosia! We stan! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for watching, Zahida!
@@Ecosia my pleasure, guys!
Very cool... I love the way he thinks and how he thinks about making the future better even though he may not be around to see the results.
It is so important to see, that we can make the change and that it's in our own hands!
Exelente trabajo Manuel! Cuando sigues trabajando y no te paga se ve que tienes " pride" y dedication real, motivation que viene totalmente de corazon ,esto son los heroes reales ,mi opinion💜❤💎🎖
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children"
Well Ecosia, I wish you all the very best in your life and Tree planting. Our planet needs Millions and Millions more Trees.
Love you ECOSIA 😍
💚💚
Mucha gente como éste hombre hace falta en todo el mundo!!! Gracias a Dios todavía hay personas preocupadas por salvar futuras generaciones. Mil gracias. Abrazo desde Argentina!!!!
It's crazy, but even with next to no knowledge of Spanish I love listening to this man. The mix or intelligence, care, responsiblity and courage just shines through, from that lucid "you ask the question because you know the answer" at the start to the last optimistic look to the future.
I hope with all my heart he gets his wish, he certainly deserves living to be a hundred and enjoying the sight of what he created.
Many thanks to Fátima González-Torres, Sina Samavati
and Shane Thomas McMilan for creating this!
I could just cheer and dance with this man! This! This is the future!
Ecosia and Manuel,many thanks,muchas gracias for our grandchildrens future
You'd be surprised how tiring it is planting trees but I love working on those projects, currently reforesting an old hay field with a wide variety of native trees. I look forward to watching it grow over time.
Thank you for all your hard work! It seems like it's starting to make good :)
It's not 70 practices, it's 70 pages of regenerative agriculture techniques
I was stationed in Madrid from Jan of 83 until Nov of 85. My buddies and I did a LOT of road trips. I remember the southern half of Spain being very dry. We took a trip to the north coast, Bilboa, Santander area and it was lush and green. I guess the areas around Madrid are getting greener too. That's a good thing.
Excellent. It’s vital that every country does something to help establish more stable and sustainable agriculture. Mucho gusto Manuel.
on vous soutiens avec nos coeurs et nos joie
I loved to hear this farmer and his positivisme. Made me very happy hence lived in Spain and have noticed the issue.
Me too 🙋🏼♀️
Hace poco veía un mapa en la red, de España, y por lo que ví, pensé que era "normal" que el área fuese tan árida, vengo a ver éste vídeo y me doy cuenta de lo equivocado que estaba...
Que trabajo tan importante está realizando éste caballero, Dios le dé larga vida y completa salud para poder ver sus sueños o al menos parte de ellos, hechos realidad, gracias por su trabajo. 👍🙏👍
It would be awesome to incorporate Argentina in the Ecosia system! We are having critical times with the burning fields, desertification and droughts.
So nice to see my wonderful Andalusia depicted with such beautiful stories
So sorry to bother you but maybe YT channel Granja Caimito can be interesting. It's in Andalusia and I think the majority of the comments are from non-Spaniards. It's not my channel, but I think the owner would love some Spanish input.
Thanks in advance.
A comment for the algorithm-
We Ecosians have become like a community who're not dreaming but started working by doing our bit 🙌👏🖤
one of the most important actions for regenerative agroforestry production would be utilizing swales on contours and ridgepoint dams and dams connecting swales through out the system and growing staple food trees on those swales and around the dams preventing as much evaporation an encourgaing as much land rehydration as possible.... there is no thriving life without ample water Geoff Lawtons work along with others with Permaculture is thee most vital thing to save ourselves from ourselves!
Muchas gracias por su trabajo y esfuerzo, Manuel. Ojalá hubiese más personas como usted 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me encanta vuestro trabajo, muchas gracias por hacerlo posible.
Poco a poco somos más.
This makes me feel some hope for my country and my land. Thanks, Ecosia.
Me alegro, Enrique. Gracias por el comentario y por ver nuestros vídeos. Greetings from Berlin!
going to keep commenting, don’t mind me just trying to spread the word !
To the young ones: watch and learn this is how one should wish to grown old.
Only lets try starting such at younger age... care about nature and the environment!
Thank you Manuel. Thank you Team Ecosia!
Necesitamos más proyectos como este y más personas juntas para plantar más áreas verdes en todas partes
Que orgullo ser español, por muchas más iniciativas así. Mil gracias 🫂❤
That's great regenerative agriculture is the only way forward spread the word 👍👍👍👍👍
So inspiring, so hopeful. I'm in Pennsylvania, USA... feelin' that international kinship... The story seems so similar throughout many parts of the world, in short... loss of life from the landscape, whether it soil life, plants, animals, aquatic/marine life, or people. I stand with everyone out there who believes we can turn these trends around. Let's work together, meaning people as well as the other life forms on the planet, and do our best to bring life back to our landscapes, establish a better relationship with nature in which humans are a member of a very diverse community, and rediscover the power and abundance of nature.
Thank you for your work and best of luck!! 🎄🌳🐄❤️
Here's hoping he gets to live to see his vision come true. :)
Yt debería recomendar esto mucho más,es muy importante
Using Ecosia since 2011. Amazed how much it grew.
Merci pour tous :) thanks for all :) gracias para todos :)

A modern day Ricardo Cordorinu. I hope your project is as successful as the beautiful Sierra Espuna in Region de Murcia. Well done. I love coming to Spain in the spring for hiking holidays in the Sierra Espuna. I love walking in the countryside when the Almonds are in bloom. I remember growing up in Australia in the 1970's and they had the same problem of erosion due to clearing bushland for farming. The world needs to wake up and take care of the environment.
Planty a millions trees. Savea million people on earth🌍🌱🌿🍃🌳🌳🌳🌳🕊
If everyone made some effort to plant trees, plant tree seeds and got others involved in this simple activity, our devastated areas would recover. But we seem to leave it to the few, like this man, to do all the heavy lifting, and it's a shame. We don't realize that our sheer numbers mean things get done, then we don't have to wait for the government or special groups to fix things that need it. People think sometimes that if they don't get paid to do something, they're not going to do it. We should get over that. The reward is in the doing. I see areas that had hurricanes years ago, still sitting in piles of downed trees, destroyed structures, debris, trash, etc. And I wonder why the people of that area don't come out and spend a couple of days cleaning it up. Fifty or so people can do an astounding amount of work in a short time. But so many say, "Why should I? It's not my debris. It's not my home. It's not my street. It's not my problem." And even if it is, they often still don't do it, waiting for someone to come and do it for them. We miss the pleasure of accomplishment when we take that attitude.
Ein super Beispiel wie Bäume eine ganze Region zum Positiven verändern können...I love it !
More and more farmers, not least in the UK where I live, are learning at last that regenerative agriculture is the only way forward to grow food sustainably. I know several farmers who can testify to that. We have a responsibility to put right the mistakes of the past. Using the Ecosia browser for internet searches helps.
May God bless you with more than 20 years Manuel!
Jesus Christ is coming. He will restore things, and make them even better.
Let's take care of our neighbor, who least he has ... NOBODY has been left in misery or bankruptcy, to share. It is time to change our focus, and focus on God.
May the Lord bless you, CHRIST IS COMING!
Are you trying to say we're wasting our time caring for God's creation ? I hope not.
@@thiebautjoel
Totally wrong. What I said is to care for creation entirely, that includes your neighbor.
God bless
God bless you Ecosia and its founders 👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well done and thank you to Ecosia and partners!
Thank you too!
This is beautiful. Thanks for letting us see yours and your inspiring partners' work in action
Nice job Manuel ! Thank you for your work 👍🏻
I wish more people cared about preserving nature because we only have one home here on earth and we should definitely not let it rot like this
Great work, wish there were more long-sighted people like him.
Me and my family have planted around 10k trees in Alentejo( south of portugal). One land had a fire 18 years ago. Nothing used to grew up there only some sobreiros( corck aoks). And now after planting trees it is so beautifull to see it. A total difference. Best way to fight climate change and soil degredation is planting trees.
What kind of trees did you plant by curiosity ? Did you plant native species ?
merci pour cette video
Merci à toi de regarder nos vidéos. Bon weekend!
Keep up the regenerative stories TH-cam algorithm! Great story!!
This is very inspiring! Thank you for sharing such amazing people and initiatives.
GRANDE ! Gracias por su accion que nos beneficia a todos. Mucho respeto desde Francia !
If only every past generations thought about future generations the way he does.
Gracias Manuel...Bendiciones
