We are on a clear urgent mission: Plant 1 million native trees in Delhi NCR by 2028, creating dense Miyawaki forests that will purify the air, restore urban ecosystems and protect our health.

The Crisis
  1. Delhi NCR ranks among the most polluted regions on Earth; toxic air is shortening lives - a child born today could lose 12 years to air pollution.
  2. Average AQI in Delhi NCR is often over 200, while cities like New York average around 50.
Our Solution
We transform small urban pockets into thriving, self-sustaining forests using the Miyawaki method: 
  • Trees grow to full height in 2 years and start absorbing CO₂, and improving AQI quickly;
  • The Miyawaki method works even in small spaces - we need just 2000 sq. ft. to plant a forest of 600 trees;
  • These forests require only 2 years of maintenance. After that, they survive and thrive on their own, with a 95% survival rate;
  • We use native and indigenous species - no chemicals or artificial nutrients;
And we are growing them with the community, for the community. What’s unique is that they will grow into fully mature, self-sustaining forests in just 2 years (as opposed to 20 years it usually takes for a tree to grow).This is possible thanks to a globally adopted scientific technique developed by Professor Akira Miyawaki in Japan in the 1980s. Till date, Million Miyawaki Foundation has planted 34 forests, over 20,400 trees and added 70,000+ sq. ft. of green cover benefitting 80,000+ residents.

Why do we need your support?
The model works. The land is available. People want to join. Now, we need the resources to scale.
With your help we can: 
  • Raise ₹3 crores to grow the next 100 forests;
  • Plant 60,000+ native trees;
  • Restore 25+ local species — like Jamun, Chameli, Ber, Amaltas, and Palash;
  • Build air pockets zones around government schools and low-income communities;
  • CLEAN AIR in the most polluted city in the world
This isn’t just planting - it’s an urgent public health action. Forests are the most effective natural air cleaners we have. Every minute delayed means more toxic air, more suffering. Be a part of a national, citizen-led effort-backed by schools, corporates, NGOs and local communities-to deliver clean air today.

Plant a Miyawaki Forest.
Clean the air.
Protect our future.
