A village in UP's Varanasi is developing a natural forest using Japan’s Miyawaki method of afforestation, in a bid to promote eco-tourism.
The trend of Miyawaki is based on the work of Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. He found that protected areas around temples, shrines and cemeteries in Japan contained a huge variety of native vegetation that co-existed to produce resilient and diverse ecosystems.
The basic idea is to grow plants without leaving any space, thus leading to plants growing straight and forming lush green forests in small areas of land. The approach is supposed to ensure that plant growth is 10 times faster and the resulting plantation is 30 times denser than usual.
It involves planting dozens of native species in the same area and becomes maintenance-free after the first 3 years. This will also help in environmental protection and will also encourage eco-tourism.
