Xàbia: Miyawaki Forest
About the project
This project will transform an abandoned citrus orchard into a thriving native mini-forest that reconnects biodiversity corridors and strengthens the local ecosystem with about 2,000 native trees and shrubs.
This initiative is led by a local environmental association, in collaboration with community groups, volunteers, and businesses. The project builds upon the success of “El Bosque Jávea,” the first Miyawaki-style forest in the area, and aims to serve as a replicable model for small-scale ecological restoration projects along the Mediterranean coast.
Objective
Regenerate degraded land, enhance biodiversity, and strengthen community engagement in climate action through the creation of a mini-forest that serves as a model for small-scale restoration projects in the Mediterranean coast.
Impact
Biodiversity restoration: native trees and shrubs creating a multilayered ecosystem that supports pollinators, birds, and soil life.
Community engagement: local entities & volunteers involved in hands-on climate action.
Climate resilience: Enhanced soil fertility & CO2 sequestration through biochar and mulching.
Partnerships: local businesses & governments promoting ecosystem stewardship together.
Scalability: this pilot project demonstrates how abandoned farmlands can be revitalized into ecological assets.
