From Japan to Brazil: Reforesting the Amazon with the Miyawaki method
03 February 2023
Reforestation using the Miyawaki method seeks to restore nature to its original state with results that can be seen in around six years.
Miyawaki works around three concepts: trees should be native, several species should be randomly planted, and the materials for the seedlings and the soil should be organic.
The method is suitable for urban areas, which gives it a significant capacity to connect human beings with nature, with benefits for the health and well-being of the population.
Different from other reforestation methods that may seek a financial return, like agroforestry, the motivation of the Miyawaki method is purely ecological.
