【海外の反応】「日本のせいで世界の緑がおかしい…」欧州の街並みを激変させた日本のアイデアに国際機関が騒然…【日本のあれこれ】

The green of the world is strange because of Japan. Hello, everyone. I'm Ayame, a personality. Since the beginning of global warming, one of the causes has always been the reduction of forest areas. As a result of the expansion of population growth and social activities, forests have decreased and the absorption of carbon dioxide has also decreased. It is difficult to regain the lost natural environment with ordinary efforts. However, various efforts are being made all over the world to stop global warming. One of such efforts is planting trees to regain the green. In Japan and abroad, the planting method called Miyawaki method is now more efficient than simply planting trees. So, this time, I would like to introduce the Miyawaki method, which has become a hot topic on the Internet. What is the Miyawaki method? The Miyawaki method is a planting method proposed by Miyawaki Akira, a botanist. It is a method that can regenerate the forest in a short period of time by using the original vegetation of the land and planting various kinds of plants. Miyawaki has been implementing planting activities in this way since the 1970s. He has built more than 1,700 forests in Japan and abroad. However, if the forests are densely populated, the growth of plants will be hindered by insufficient sunlight. Some people may think so. However, it is said that the growth rate will be faster by the survival competition between plants rather than by opening the gap between plants. In a survey, it was reported that plants grew 10 times faster than normal plants. In addition, it is a great advantage that plants can grow in lush green even in a small space such as urban areas or along the road. In addition, by planting many kinds of plants together, we can expect the effect of increasing the absorption of carbon dioxide. According to a study, the forests of nature absorb about 40 times more carbon dioxide than the forest land made of a single type of plant. With the Miyawaki method, we can get closer to the environment even if it is a population forest. We can also expect the contribution to biodiversity. With the Miyawaki method, by planting many kinds of plants based on the original plants in the land, we can make a population forest in places where there were no forests until now. If the number of plants in the land increases, it will also lead to restoring the living environment of the animals in the land. For example, we may be able to make a pathway for wild animals that have been euthanized by roads and buildings. In addition, we may be able to restore the ecosystem that has changed due to environmental destruction, such as increasing the number of insects in the forest and becoming food for birds. In addition, the role of forests is to store water resources in the land and reduce the damage of floods, hurricanes, and fires. In addition, if there is a small forest in the city, we may be able to take a break with the shade and the birds' singing. Unfortunately, the Miyawaki method was abolished in July 2021. However, the number of forests by the Miyawaki method continues to increase by the people all over the world who agree with the Miyawaki method. In the Netherlands, more than 100 forests by the Miyawaki method were born, mainly with support groups. In other countries, similar efforts have been made, and forests have been born one after another in France, the UK, and Belgium. In addition, in the Asian region, in cities such as India and Pakistan, in the local factories of Japanese companies, a plan for eating insects is being implemented by a company that was founded by a person who knew the Miyawaki method. It is difficult to practice eating insects individually, but there are many initiatives by local governments, nature conservation groups, volunteer groups, and companies in Japan. The Miyawaki method is spreading all over the world. Now, let's take a closer look at the forestry of the Miyawaki method, which is popular all over the world. First of all, let's take a look at the example of the British Guardian in 2020. In 2017, the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands surveyed a small forest that was newly planted by the Miyawaki method. As a result, it was found that the forest surveyed compared to the forest in the neighborhood had a higher degree of biodiversity, and that the number of species and individuals visiting the forest were large overall. Fabrice Ottberg, a researcher at the University of Wageningen, pointed out that the richness of biodiversity is due to the fact that the forest is still young and open. When the forest is open, the sunlight easily reaches the flowering plants, and this is what attracts the pollinators. According to Fabrice Ottberg, by planting a variety of trees, biodiversity is expanded, and that food and livestock are provided to more diverse species such as insects, amphibians, and rattlesnakes. In addition, the IVN Nature Education, an environmental protection organization in the Netherlands, supports activities to create hundreds of Miyawaki-style forests in urban areas and individual homes from 2015. By 2022, the IVN Nature Education has a path to double this, and it is doing the same activities in dozens of countries. In addition, other organizations in France and Belgium are also making at least 40 mini-forests, and the first mini-forest in France was born next to a four-lane road in the suburbs of Paris. The purpose of the mini-forest was to purify the air and reduce noise for the area adjacent to dense trees. On the day of planting, 40 participants gathered to plant 31 types of seedlings. The soil was mixed with the compost prepared by the local old company. Two years ago, the city of Paris asked the citizens for ideas on how to use 5% of the city's budget. In response, it was proposed to create several mini-forests to increase the ratio of land in the city. The ratio of land in Paris is currently less than 10%, which is much lower than that of other major cities. The proposers claimed that each community could be the main character of the story of land regeneration. In addition, Nicolas de Brabantdale, the founder of Urban Forests, a food organization based in Belgium and France, started the Miyawaki-style forestry in 2016. He gathered local volunteers and volunteers to plant 300 seedlings in a thin, long grassland next to the road. The first trees he planted grew up in a forest about 3 meters high. The forest is covered with hot, corroded soil. Mr. Brabantdale claims that forestry is a participatory type and that the growth rate attracts people's interest. He hopes that the future of this activity will be bright and will continue in the future. The next article is from the World Economic Forum's WEF website in 2020. Miyawaki-style forestry is highly regarded as a trump card to fight climate change. One of the key strategies to suppress global warming is forest regeneration. The Bon Challenge, led by the German government, the International Union for the Protection of Nature, and the IUCN, have set an active goal in this battle. New forests and regenerated forests are estimated to remove carbon dioxide equivalent to 1 billion tons by 2050. However, not only do all forests have the same effect on carbon retention, but more mature forests made up of natural trees absorb more carbon dioxide than single trees. As we learn more about the role of carbon dioxide in soil, it has become clear that it is as important as the number of plants to be planted. However, the IUCN emphasizes that Miyawaki-style forestry should not be seen as a strategy to protect the existing forest. This is because small forests that are not continuous will never change to forests that spread over a wide area. Large forests are essential for the survival of many species. However, it is still exposed to the danger of being cut down for agricultural land and the yakihata-style agriculture. However, the article emphasized that if there is a wasteland left in the local community, creating a Miyawaki-style forest there may be one way to protect the environment. In addition, the World Economic Forum published a video introducing the Miyawaki-style forestry. It briefly explained the achievements, feasibility, and potential for the future of the Miyawaki-style forestry. Next, I will introduce the Miyawaki-style forestry, which is widespread in various parts of India. In India, hundreds of thousands of trees are already planted in this way. It is also called a small forest, where various plants grow in limited areas. It is said to be used as a means of quickly greening the limited land in the urban area. In Tiruvannamalai, south of India, the local NGO, together with the State Tourism Bureau, implemented a greening project in the city. The purpose of this project is to plant a type of Bodai tree and lemongrass in a corner of a concrete jungle and to create a place of peace where the heat waves can be avoided. The Miyawaki-style forestry is very popular in the lowland area. According to the local Times of India, the Miyawaki-style forestry is a method of cultivating various types of plants, and it is said that more than 70 types of plants, up to 800 plants, are already growing in a small area. About 30 volunteers participate in the eating activities. They enjoy the project while covered in mud and water. In addition to this, Miyawaki-style forestry is introduced in various places in India. According to Hinduism, in Chennai, which faces the Bengal River, the land near the subway station and schools are used for the Miyawaki-style forestry. In addition, it is reported that the Indian Express is in Karnataka, southwestern India, where high school students are planting 5,500 trees.

The Miyawaki-style forestry is the result of understanding the fact that planting trees in festivities & fall areas to grow plants. The Miyawaki-style forestry is the result of understanding the fact that planting trees in festivities & fall areas to grow plants. The company said that in three years, they could grow a tree that is 10 years old. Indian Express also emphasized the speed of growth. The project manager of TIRUVANANTA PLUM is expecting to grow a 100-year-old forest in 10 years. The strong point of Miyawaki method is to keep the native trees as they are. According to the efforts of high school students in Karnataka, they are using Indian spruce and purple futomomo, and they can grow various kinds of plants in a limited school site, so it is said that it is also used in class. And the small area of ​​need is also a big advantage for the city. According to Hinduism, they can grow many kinds of plants in an area of ​​about 600 square feet and about 56 square meters, and it looks like a small forest. In addition, it is good not to use chemicals or chemical fertilizers. The advantage of Miyawaki method is that maintenance will be unnecessary in a few years. Miyawaki method, which nurtures a rich forest in a limited land, is loved by people in the land of India across the sea. And the last thing I would like to introduce is the efforts in Pakistan. In 2021, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan announced that he would build a forest in 50 places in Lahore, a city where atmospheric pollution is serious. The experiment carried out in 2020 showed a certain effect, so it was decided to expand food. The people were very happy with the Prime Minister who adopted such Japanese technology. I have never seen a Prime Minister who cares so much about the environment. I want to thank him for his efforts to clean and revitalize Pakistan. Foreign reaction I respect Miyawaki method. I would like to try it in my city. The urban forest is an essential element of child education in many countries, including the UK. I think Miyawaki method should be carried out in all countries where atmospheric pollution is serious. I want to use this method to make all the remaining land in Mumbai a forest. To stop global warming, we have no choice but to use the local plants and make all the vacant land a forest with Miyawaki method. I was surprised to see the video. This is the perfect transformation. It is 100% productive and has 100% results. Miyawaki method is unique and wonderful. There is no regularity in a natural forest. The feeling of plants growing and the type of plants are different. However, plants exist under the rule of competition. I am convinced that this Japanese food technology is effective. Summary Miyawaki method is not an exaggeration to say that it is a trend in the world now. It is a very easy and effective way to make a greenhouse in the vacant land of nature such as urban areas. The fact that the method was born 50 years ago and is still in use shows the usefulness of this method. In the future, Miyawaki method will continue to spread all over the world to prevent global warming, protect the ecosystem, and contribute to the reduction of natural disasters. I am very proud as a Japanese person that Japanese technology may be able to save the people of the world. How was it? I would be happy if you could tell me your impressions in the comments.
