I wrote about the Miyawaki forest few years back and now Kutch in Gujrat has the right example of it grown in four years by India’s green hero Dr.Radhakrishna .K. Nair.
When we visited Udaipur,Jodhpur and Jaisalmer this December we were surprise to see how green the cities were.Infact the once green West Bengal is way greyer in it’s urban areas then ever before compared to Jodhpur.No wonder the April temperature is soaring!
Dr.Nair has created more than 115 green Miyawaki forests.He has aptly founded the group called forest creators.
A Japanese method where there’s multiple benefits to environment and population. It includes –
- Rainwater conservation,
- soil conservation,
- environment conservation,
- carbon absorption increases,
- lowers local temperature,
- increased oxygen supply,
- water conservation
- Ecological conservation and biodiversity enhanced
- Provides employment
- Provides green cover
- Reduces temperature
- overall helps environment fight drastic climate change and build for a sustainable future
He has built the largest forest in Kutch which is part if a Memorial for the 2001 Bhuj earthquake victims .The Smriti Van.
More than six lakh trees of 117 varieties are planted here.
He is also behind the largest Miyawaki forest next to a seashore at Nargol.
