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.

What a beautiful Mango garden! The problem in our area is too much building. The builders find any piece of land, whether swamp or dry and cut tress to build more houses that are not needed in our area. To my is all greed and we end up having a cement jungle with no trees or wildlife.
It makes me worried at times when I see no respect for nature!
It is so good to see these green iniatives. It gives me hope for the planet.
Thank you for introducing us to Dr. Radhakrishna Nair’s inspiring work! It’s heartening to see such dedication to environmental healing. Stories like this remind us that one person really can make a lasting difference.
Great to hear about the initiatives – and successes to make your world greener and more sustainable. Thank you for sharing!
I love to read stories of environmental heroes like Dr. Nair. We are at a critical time where changes need to be made, and yet it’s sad to see some countries pulling back on their environmental initiatives.
What an interesting concept. I believe in creating more green spaces, too. I’d never heard of Miyawaki before this post. I’ll be sure to investigate more!
