How to grow a forest in your backyard is not a question everyone has.It definitely is not something which keeps people awake.But do you know the change in forest cover can change the local climate?

Did you know one man, gave up a lucrative job, to plant trees and create man-made sustainable forests?I wish to have a nice whispering forest in my backyard one day.No wild animals.Only birds and butterflies for me.With forest cover decreasing the world is facing horrifying changes in weather.Floods and famines are everyday occurrences.The scene looks bleaker in India with its bursting population and increasing need for space.

But what if we could change our barren lands into green lungs?Those lands which are lying waste We have several such in our government land banks, which are neither fit for farming nor for an industry.
They can be put to good use by making sustainable forests.

I have not gone mad.Shubendu Sharma has made this his life’s mission and his business.This smart eco-entrepreneur (love the term), realized early on that good deeds need money.If you want to make a difference it should make economic sense.
That’s why he has concentrated on making his company profitable.Normally it takes 100 and 1000s of years to make a forest self-sustainable.Akira Miyawaki’s step by step method hastens that growth to create a mature, self-sustaining native forest in ten years.The company gives support in various ways.They prepare the soil and make the plants ready for the plot.Local species, climate, and water needs are important while choosing the plants.For the first two to three years active watering and weeding are needed.After that, the forest becomes self-sustaining.
