Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan will inaugurate the world’s biggest Miyawaki urban forest in Lahore on Monday (today) as part of monsoon drive under the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami project.

As per details, the Miyawaki forest has been developed over 100 kanals with a total of 165000 plants which will grow ten times quicker than a normal forest owing to the unique Miyawaki technique.

The Miyawaki technique uses specialized land preparation along indigenous varieties with varying growth rates to produce fast growing urban forests.

Meanwhile, another 53 Miyawaki forests are being grown at different parts of provincial capital to create sinks for carbon as well as for better pollution abatement in the city.

Moreover, all projects have been geo-tagged for monitoring of their growth and development.

Furthermore, about 500 million trees are being planted across Pakistan under the ongoing Monsoon plantation drive which is the largest ever such drive in country.
