Nature will take care of it.
This year marks the fifth anniversary of Hungary’s first Miyawaki forest in Tabán, and for the first time, a conference was held on the local experiences of Akira Miyawaki, the world-renowned Japanese botanist.
The conference was initiated by the 10 Million Trees Foundation in collaboration with ELTE Together for Environmental Awareness, after the foundation has planted thirty mini-forests in Budapest alone with the help of volunteers in recent years, and they have established over fifty across the country. Additionally, several dozen mini-forests have already been planted in the country by other organizations and local governments.
The foundation’s leader, Iván András Bojár, stated that wherever possible, we should break up the concrete and plant as many of these oases as we can, because over the past 50 years, it has been proven worldwide that thanks to their rapid growth, they can create climate-adaptive habitats in cities within just a few years.
