This farmer is running his own native tree nursery in a very dry part of the Sanya River watershed. He showed us probably a dozen species that he is propagating, planting on his own land, and sharing with his neighbours. He told us he is doing this to preserve species that are important and are disappearing. I think it also seemed clear that he is doing it because he has a passion for trees. Shown below is a species that according to tradition, brings rain and peace.
