At the start of every new year, it is very typical 【1】 (make) new year’s resolutions. However, do they really work?

Personally, I don’t think so. Firstly, it’s always great to start the new year with a good 【2】 (intend) and a positive attitude, as it can bring more hope and happiness. However, when life 【3】 (return) to normal, the enthusiasm of writing a diary, for example, can wear off.

We often choose the goals 【4】 are unrealistic as resolutions under the false belief that we can just be a 【5】 (complete) different person in the new year. In fact, changes happen in small steps over time, so why not take a step back and think of something we can benefit 【6】?

These small gestures are thought 【10】 (be) effective to make you better on the inside and outside. So, let’s take the pressure away and make a great effort to be a better me!

The couple owns 300 acres of land in Brahmagiri, India. They have spotted more than 300 kinds of birds as well as many rare and threatened animal species. But, this was not the scene in 1991 when Anil and Pamela came to this part of the country. “When I came here, it was a wasteland. The owner wanted to sell because he couldn’t grow coffee or anything else,” says Anil who worked in the real estate（房地产）and restaurant business in the US before moving to India. “For me and Pamela, this was what we were looking for all our life.”

The couple had a love for nature from their childhood. When the Malhotras came to India, the pollution horrified them. “That was when we decided to do something to reclaim（开垦）the forest in India,” says Anil. “We were not looking for money. Early on, we realized that shortage of fresh water will be a concern for India and the rest of the world. Acquisition, protection and reclamation of forested lands and wildlife habitat, where vital water sources have their origin, is the only way to save ourselves,” explains Anil.

They sold what they owned in America, bought the first 55 acres and began to grow a forest. Soon they bought the land nearby as well. “Many of the farmers considered their holdings ‘wasteland’ as very little grew on it and were happy to get money,” says Anil.

Hunting and poaching（偷猎）was a challenge and often the locals did not understand what this couple was doing, so it required a lot of talking to create awareness. They worked with the forest department to set up camera traps and keep poachers away. “There are times I have fought with poachers,” says Pamela.
