The Miyawaki Method
For Creating Forests in Zambia

Planting trees is a powerful tool for climate balance. We began trials on mini forests based on the Miyawaki Method as an impactful way to take direct action. The method includes planting trees as close as possible, in the same area which not only saves space, but the planted saplings also support each other in growth and block sunlight from reaching the ground, thereby preventing the growth of weeds.

This method helps create self-sustaining micro forests within 2 – 3 years, this approach ensures that plant growth is 10 times faster and the resulting planation is 30 times denser than usual.

Charcoal production is the primary driver of deforestation destroying our woodlands and forests. Miombo woodlands are a unique biome occurring across Central Africa covering the northern half of Zambia above Lusaka including the eastern and western “ears” of the Copperbelt. Miombo biomes sustain the livelihoods of millions of people, water catchment, climate regulation, soil conservation and pollination.
Pyro would like to raise awareness by sharing this infographic created by Sarah Markes on the importance of the Miombo Woodland.
