Miyawaki Forest in Manipur Grow billion trees

In the lush landscapes of Manipur, a green revolution is quietly taking root. The Miyawaki Forest method, a unique approach to afforestation, is transforming barren lands into thriving ecosystems. This method, named after Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, is gaining momentum in Manipur, thanks to the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders. The Miyawaki method involves planting native species in a dense, layered manner. This mimics natural forests, allowing them to grow rapidly and sustainably. In just a few years, these forests become self-sustaining, providing a habitat for diverse flora and fauna. Manipur, with its rich biodiversity, is an ideal location for Miyawaki forests. The state\'s varied climate and topography support a wide range of plant species. By adopting this method, Manipur is not only enhancing its green cover but also preserving its unique biodiversity.
