Mission to Plant Miyawaki Forests in Lahore
Asif Mehmood discusses the critical mission of planting Miyawaki urban forests to combat climate change, severe air pollution, and rapidly rising temperatures in Pakistan.
The Miyawaki method allows for dense, rapid forest growth in urban areas to counter environmental degradation.
To effectively combat the severe impacts of climate change, air pollution, and rising temperatures, environmental experts are turning to a proven urban forestry technique. In a recent update, Asif Mehmood sheds light on the ongoing mission to plant Miyawaki forests across Lahore.

Fighting Urban Pollution
The Miyawaki method, pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, involves planting dozens of native species close together in a small patch of land. This forces the plants to grow upward rapidly as they compete for sunlight, resulting in a forest that grows significantly faster and denser than traditional plantations. For a city facing severe smog and heatwaves, these "mini-forests" act as crucial carbon sinks and temperature regulators.
Watch the full video above to learn more about the initiative, the benefits of these dense urban forests, and how they are acting as the first line of defense against our changing climate.
