Community Rules

Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.
-
Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals' politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.
-
No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those "NSFW" for young or sensitive users.

No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. "Does this fit here?" helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.

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.
