In September 2018, EcoSikh, a non-profit social organization, launched a global project to plant 1 million trees across the world to celebrate 550th Gurpurab of Guru Nanak. The main idea is to plant micro-forests (a.k.a. Guru Nanak Sacred Forests) using the Miyawaki methodology in partnership with the local host partner and volunteers. This is in response to the UN’s Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030). Some 303-plus micro forests comprising 1,67,000 thriving wild trees, have been planted across India and outside of India so far, with a 95% survival rate. These mini-forests attract many native species of birds, insects, and small creatures that feel secure enough to make them their habitats.
