The aim of this project is to establish a Miyawaki forest at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, creating a vibrant and biodiverse green space on campus.
As the forest grows, it will enhance air quality, mitigate the effects of climate change, and promote biodiversity conservation. It is already serving as an outdoor learning environment, encouraging research, education, and community engagement.
Through this initiative, the university has exemplified its commitment to sustainability, environmental stewardship, and the well-being of its students, faculty, and surrounding community.

Bamu University Forest has sprung into a lush, dense ecosystem in just a year after being planted. The once degraded field surrounding the university’s Environmental Science department now serves as a living classroom to study climate resilience and biodiversity - with rare butterfly species like the striped pierrot spotted in the forest, along with lots of dragonflies.
The forest is doing exceptionally well - with all of its saplings having survived, and pioneer species are already standing at nearly three meters tall. We’re very proud to see the forest fulfill its role as a haven for rare species, and an inspiration to the local community.
