When the Government Falls Short, Citizens Take Charge!
Air pollution in Delhi NCR has reached alarming levels, affecting millions of lives daily. Despite policies and promises, the pace of afforestation and environmental restoration by the government has been insufficient. But when authorities fail, citizens must take the lead!
In a powerful step towards clean air and urban greening, Rise Foundation, in association with Max Hospital Dwarka, has established a new green patch with 1,200 native trees using the Miyawaki afforestation technique. This initiative is part of the ‘Million Miyawaki’ movement, aiming to restore Delhi’s green cover and fight air pollution.
Why Miyawaki? A Game-Changer for Urban Afforestation
The Miyawaki technique is a revolutionary afforestation method that helps create dense, self-sustaining forests in urban spaces. Unlike conventional tree plantations, Miyawaki forests:
✅ Grow 10 times faster, reaching maturity within 2-3 years.
✅ Absorb more CO₂ and significantly improve air quality.
✅ Require minimal maintenance after the first 2 years.
✅ Enhance biodiversity, attracting birds, bees, and butterflies.
These microforests are an effective, science-backed solution to tackle Delhi’s worsening air pollution and urban heat island effect.
Establishing a New Green Patch at Max Hospital Dwarka
In collaboration with Max Hospital Dwarka, Rise Foundation has successfully planted 1,200 native trees on hospital premises. This green oasis will:
🌳 Absorb pollutants like PM2.5 and CO₂, improving local air quality.
🌳 Lower temperatures and combat the urban heat island effect.
🌳 Support biodiversity, creating a thriving ecosystem in the heart of the city.
🌳 Inspire citizens and businesses to take similar green initiatives.
This afforestation project is a citizen-led revolution proving that change starts from within the community.
