Miyawaki Forest in Maharashtra
The Miyawaki method, named after Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, focuses on dense planting. It involves planting native species close together, mimicking natural forests. This results in rapid growth and biodiversity, with trees growing up to ten times faster.
In Maharashtra, the Miyawaki method is gaining popularity. Urban areas, often lacking green spaces, are now seeing mini-forests sprout up. These forests not only beautify the landscape but also improve air quality and support wildlife.
