Making Forests of Life for the Ones You Love "The Green Tide Embankment"

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.

Worried about Mumbai! How many years can this city will survive?

[@husky5912]

In our city Jaipur Miyawaki technique will be used to grow urban forests to first air pollution which go to 230 aqi index suffocating the life every Fall and winters

[@vk081064]

Sir. Greetings from India. I am really fascinated by your afforestation methods. My house has only two feet width and 45 feet length space around it with plenty of sunlight. Can I grow a dense plantation on it. What kind of fruiting trees can I plant. Please advise. Thanks.

[@thunderr8127]

No. This two feet width is very small. You cannot grow a Miyawaki forest in such a small space.

[@vk081064]

@@thunderr8127 thank you very much for your kind reply sir.

Grow fig trees and pigeon peas.

In Bill Gates' latest book, he explains that annually human are responsible for 51 billion tons of carbon emissions. If that the case, by the theory and practice of Miyawaki forest, planting trees in 2,550,000-3,000,000 ha of Miyawaki forest planted each year alone can sequester all of human carbon emission. If I'm wrong please correct me, if I'm right anyone who've excessively huge plot of land, please consider about planting 1-2 ha of Miyawaki forest in your land. It would be one of the greatest deed for humanity.

This just strengthen my beliefs that the typical mono cultivation in modern agriculture has gone the wrong path, with the terrible use of pesticides as a fatal result. Plants are also altruistic and certain species are thriving better growing together wit certain others. A minimum of natural ecosystem is the answer. It does not give as big crops as mono cultivation in the short term, but in long terms it's much better and above all, it will be more healthy both for nature and humans.

I’m curious what the reason for this channel’s name is. It sounds kind of I’ll-fated, was that intentional?

[@XavierDommange]

A beautiful video, thank you. As a side question: where can i get the final theme song: Enishiyo-Hirogaru? I have searched for it but i could not find it. I would be very grateful if you could give me some indications. It is a wonderful sound. Best
