Thread of before and after photos 🧵

1. Chichen Itza in 1892 and now

2. Old London Bridge vs London Bridge today

The current bridge, opened in 1973, replaced a 19th-century stone-arched bridge, which had been built after the demolition of the glorious medieval stone bridge constructed between 1176 and 1209.

3. In 1994, photojournalist Sebastiao Salgado left the horrors of Rwanda and returned to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil, seeking peace in the lush green forests of his childhood.

Instead, he discovered that his home had turned into a barren land devoid of any wildlife: "The land was as sick as I was. Only about 0.5% was covered in trees".

It was then that his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, suggested they replant the entire forest. Sebastião agreed, and together they spent the next 20 years planting 2.7 million trees.

This resulted in the recovery 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 verge of extinction.
