There are some amazing inspirational stories of people who have made a huge difference by planting forests themselves, individually. Jadav Payeng in India is one of the best known examples, and there are a number of others. And you could even plant a forest yourself to follow in their footsteps (see the last section). See also:

“It all started in 1995 when Liu filmed the Loess-plateau in China. He witnessed a local population who turned an area of almost the same size as The Netherlands from a dry, exhausted wasteland into one green oasis. This experience changed his life. From that moment on, Liu has been travelling all over the world to convince and inspire government leaders, policy-makers and farmers with his film material and knowledge. Liu diligently spreads the message that restoration of ecosystems is not only possible, but also economically very meaningful.”
