Miyawaki Forest in Goa Grow billion trees
Goa, known for its pristine beaches and vibrant culture, is now making headlines for a different reason. The state is embracing the Miyawaki Forest method, a revolutionary approach to reforestation that promises to transform barren lands into lush green havens. The Miyawaki method, named after Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, is a unique technique that involves planting native species close together. This dense planting encourages rapid growth, resulting in a forest that matures in just 20-30 years, compared to the 200 years it might take naturally.
