Outlines
forest expert Dr. Akira Miyawaki's disaster prevention plan to create
authentic, self-sustaining tide embankment forests that will survive even
stronger tsunamis and protect lives. Through interviews with Dr. Miyawaki and
simple animations, the video demonstrates the problems with current man-made
forests and shows how truly native trees are the best protection. The video
also shows how many people have been moved to action through clips of dozens of
volunteers planting seedlings, including the Venerable Hioki from Rinnoji
Temple, who shares how he feels the principles of natural vegetation are in
line with Buddhist teachings.
Hioki
Doryu, the 44th Abbot of the Rinnoji Soto Zen Temple, is the Association
Chairman. Deeply moved by Dr. Miyawaki's proposal to build protective forests
from trees native to the area, he and local residents have planted over 33,000
trees from over 50 species around Rinnoji Temple, based on the principles of
potential natural vegetation. Through Planting Tree Man shows, newspaper
columns, and other media outlets, the Venerable Hioki is committed to teaching
everyone, from children to adults, all across the world, about the importance
of forests.
Grateful
thanks to Prof Dr Akira Miyawaki, UNSINKABLEJAPAN and YouTube.
