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.
