Miyawaki Forest in West Bengal grow billion tree
West Bengal, a state known for its rich biodiversity, is embracing a revolutionary approach to reforestation: the Miyawaki Forest method. This innovative technique, developed by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, is transforming urban landscapes into lush, dense forests. The Miyawaki method involves planting native species in a small area, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. This approach accelerates growth, with trees maturing in just 20-30 years, compared to the 200-300 years required by traditional methods. In West Bengal, the Miyawaki Forest initiative is gaining momentum. The state government, along with local communities, is actively participating in this green revolution. The goal is to restore biodiversity, improve air quality, and combat climate change.
