Karnataka is embracing the Miyawaki forest initiative to restore ecological balance and enhance urban greening. This innovative approach to afforestation utilizes indigenous species planted closely together, leading to rapid growth and greater biodiversity. Community participation is key, with locals actively involved in planting and maintaining the forest. The establishment of a Miyawaki forest in Karnataka significantly contributes to cleaner air, reduced urban heat, and improved habitats for local wildlife, paving the way for sustainable urban development and a healthier environment for all.
