Miyawaki Afforestation Project

Miyawaki Afforestation Project for Rapid Forest Development and Climate Change Mitigation

A project for mitigating climate change in the State by employing a renowned Japanese model.

The project envisages a method to mitigate climate change in Kerala through rapid afforestation in urban areas, based on an effective model developed and implemented by Prof. Akira Miyawaki of Yokohama, Japan. Piloted in 10 of 14 districts of Kerala, covering a land area of 1.5 acres otherwise unutilised plots. The project is being implemented as a partnership effort of various Governmental and non-Governmental agencies with Nature’s Green Guardian Foundation (NGGF) as the technical partner. An Advisory Committee screens the list of the plants to be planted in each identified plot.

Aims & Objectives

  1. To help people mitigate the impact of climate change by adapting scientifically validated, innovative forest cultivation techniques.
  2. To help prevent and make up for the depletion of medicinal plant resources through cultivating them in a species-dense forest ecosystem rather than under monoculture gardening.
  3. To help prevent the ecological disaster faced by the coastal population due to ravages of climate change including water shortage, erasing of dwellings along the seashore, deprivation of natural biologic resources in the coastal belt and the prevalent unemployment among youth and women in the coastal tract of Kerala.
  4. To help development projects achieve full success by bringing line departments, local bodies and the communities together to work on emerging problems of ecological imbalances arising due to traditional compartmentalized and fragmented problem-solving approaches by development agencies.
  5. To partake in the national mission on Climate Change Action Plan with India's Nationally Determined Contributions (UNFCCC 21).
