Then I’ll be the annoying, still optimistic guy.

Won’t animals appear over time? With birds and insects first, then that attracts others?

Or can’t animals be relocated there and thrive if it’s similar to their natural habitat?

Are you suggesting the trees ran off all the abundant wildlife that used to hang out when it was all barren looking? Should he have planted deer instead of trees or something? It’s a weird ass objection…

Ok what the hell, if you look this guy up you find like 4 articles from the fakest journalism sites ever that have just tried to write the same 4 paragraphs in a different way and barely that and then basically just reddit and social media posts talking about him.

There is no official or respected group talking about this. So take this whole story with a grain of salt and hefty skepticism.

But, it seems he was in charge of the forest management department for Sinop and used his team and government funding (and apparently a lot of volunteer labor of the towns people) to plant trees to help a deforested area in the 1970s to 90s and now an additional 25 plus years later they are showing off the trees are still alive.

Please note the not alone and government funded position to literally be in charge of trees. But man I would love to retire after 19 years of work too.
