We provide eco-sensible solutions for green cover management. We believe that nature has the most efficient and robust systems and designs. Our role is to understand and incorporate them in man-made environments.
We believe in delivering sustainable, efficient, professional and equitable solutions to green cover management. One of the most effective and sustainable methods that we have operationalized in Aurangabad and beyond is planting and nurturing Miyawaki Native Forests in appropriate locations.
The Miyawaki Method Native Dense Forest- a modern plantation method used for afforestation- is developed by Japanese ecologist Dr. Akira Miyawaki. It is aimed at creating a forest equivalent to a 100 year indigenous forest within 10 years. In practice, the soil is amended for optimal growth outcomes, a large variety of native species are selected, saplings are spaced very close to induce competition and mulch is used to conserve soil moisture and suppress weed growth. The Miyawaki technique is based on natural principles for strong and fast growth leading to a mature self sustaining forest.
EcoSattva has diverse projects and clients ranging from government bodies focused on increasing green cover, to corporate clients wanting to invest CSR funds to impact the environment positively.
The Green Schools Mission is born out of a need to scale the positive impacts of the Miyawaki Method through effective, equitable and efficient use of resources. The mission aims to create Miyawaki Method Native Dense Forests across 100 sites in schools and institutions in Aurangabad (rural) to build green-lungs for the schools and villages, as well as to comply with the Green Maharashtra Mission - Harit Maharashtra Abhiyan.
We believe in adopting greening methods that are appropriate and beneficial to their environment. Miyawaki forests, while great for urban greening, creating green lungs within the city are not suitable for all locations. We study the plantation requirement of the client, as well as the Flora of the region to provide customized plantation plans. We call this method of landscaping, that reflects the uniqueness of the region its in, as ecoscaping. The projects listed below, harness and build upon the existing biodiversity of the Marathwada region.
We are dedicated to designing and implementing research driven solutions to civic and environmental challenges. Green Aurangabad Mission is one such attempt to strategically address the challenge to grow and sustain green cover in urban environments that have more competing claims on land. Green Aurangabad Mission is a well researched and strategically developed one of its kind response to the continuously degrading ecology and landscape in and around Aurangabad. It is a strategic approach that optimizes current resources, sets appropriate targets and takes into account the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders, and the impact on the natural ecology of the region is necessary.
Green Aurangabad Mission Report aims at provisioning insights to stakeholders interested in developing their CSR/ execution strategies in this sector.
