Akira Miyawaki (1928-2021) was a renowned Japanese botanist and environmentalist best known for developing the Miyawaki method of afforestation, which emphasizes the planting of native trees and the creation of dense, biodiverse forests in urban areas. His innovative approach has been implemented worldwide, including Costa Rica, where communities have begun to create 'pocket forests' to combat urbanization's impact on green spaces.
