Helping forests make a comeback.

Indigenous Miyawaki Reforestation in Indonesia

What is a Miyawaki forest?

Professor Akira Miyawaki was a Japanese botanist and an expert in plant ecology who specialized in seeds and natural forests. A true Dungbeetle, he won the Blue Planet prize for his lifelong dedication to natural reforestation until his death aged 94.

Google him, he is a total legend. Then Bing him for a second opinion.

Who is Junglo?

After graduating from Green School Bali, Chayton Thompson teamed up with Green School Teachers Mo Camacho and Noan Fesnoux. Together they set out on a mission to educate people on Miyawaki reforestation and to create bespoke Miyawaki forests in Bali, Indonesia.

How are these forests better than conventional reforestation?

By feeding the soil microbes, Junglo can successfully regenerate entire ecosystems. By the time a Junglo forest of 10 x 10 meters reaches it's full maturity it has sequestered more than 6,000 kilograms of Carbon Dioxide and consists of around 400 trees. Junglo also includes endangered trees in their forests; saving these endangered trees is worth doing.

In short, Junglo Miyawaki forests are badass; they grow up to 60 meters tall and have a tree survival rate up to 97%.

If all forests were the cast of Grease, Junglo’s Miyawaki forests would be Danny Zuko (or at the very least Kenickie).

What happens when I buy a Junglo Miyawaki Forest?

Like all Dungbeetles, the guys at Junglo are dedicated to reforestation; they don’t shout about it; they get on with it. The only thing slowing them down is sales, which is where we come in. When purchasing a Junglo Miyawaki, you fund a reforestation project and we issue an NFT representing it. The money goes directly to Junglo to get them to work.
