The Miyawaki technique, a Japanese method of creating dense, native forests, is gaining popularity in Pune. These fast-growing forests, planted with indigenous species, promote biodiversity, restore natural habitats, and help combat urban heat and pollution. By creating small, self-sustaining ecosystems, Miyawaki forests improve air quality and enhance urban green spaces, making Pune’s urban environment more resilient and eco-friendly. Several organizations and citizen initiatives are working to establish these forests across the city, contributing to a greener future.
