Miyawaki forests are tiny, dense, fast-growing and highly biodiverse forests that can be planted almost anywhere.
These fully natural forests grow 10 times faster, store more carbon than any other man-made forest, and become 20 times more biodiverse than regular tree-planting efforts!
And Urban Forests, a cool group that plants these little eco-miracles, need your help for their next project : planting a Miyawaki forest in the middle of an intensive farming area in France’s Champagne region, where biodiversity, from storks and cranes to tree frogs and grasshoppers, has plummeted.
If enough of us chip in today, we can help plant this super-forest, help reverse the impact of intensive farming in the area, give local wildlife a new home and fight against industrial agriculture worldwide.
Can we count on your support?
