The Delhi forest and wildlife department has proposed a plan to develop a Miyawaki forest spanning 10 acres on the Central Ridge along Sardar Patel Marg. This initiative aims to plant 100,000 to 150,000 saplings at a density of three to five plants per square meter, following the removal of invasive species like vilayati kikar (Prosopis juliflora) and lantana. The estimated cost for this project is ₹5 crore (approximately $600,000 USD). The Miyawaki method, which involves planting 25-40 native species in multiple layers, aims to enhance carbon sequestration through intensive maintenance and soil enrichment. However, ecologists and restoration experts have raised concerns that this approach is inappropriate for the Ridge, which is part of the larger Aravalli ecosystem. They argue that the method does not replicate the natural habitat and could lead to ecological disruption. Experts advocate for a more thorough ecological restoration process that considers the area's ecological history and reference ecosystems before any intervention.
