Named after the Japanese scientist Dr. Akira Miyawaki, this methodology has been extremely successful with over 17 million trees planted in 1700 locations. Such forests are multi-layered forests and mimic the densest parts of a native undisturbed forests. Since the methodology rests on providing the best possible start to the forest, such forests can grow upto 10 times faster, be 30 times more dense and 100 times more bio-diverse.
The simplest definition of the Miyawaki method is the random and dense plantation of native species.
