News: Prayagraj Municipal Corporation has employed the Japanese Miyawaki technique to create around 56,000 sq. Meters of dense forests in Prayagraj.
About Miyawaki Technique
- The technique was developed by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s to create dense forests in limited spaces.
- It is an afforestation technique for cultivating fast growing groves of native plants to create a natural forest.
- It is also referred to as pot plantation method as it involves planting trees and shrubs close to each other to accelerate their growth.
- Benefits:
- Natural forests created using this technique absorb more carbon, grow faster and support richer biodiversity as compared to traditional forests. Infact, plants grow 10 times faster with this technique.
- It has the potential to transform polluted, barren lands into green ecosystems.
- It is an effective tool of environmental restoration as it curbs air and water pollution, prevents soil erosion and promotes ecological balance.
