The forests of Hokkaido Prefecture have served as example, inspiration, and originator of techniques used in forestry conservation both within Japan and all over the world. In this program, Hideki Kuriyama, a former manager of Japan’s national baseball team, explores the wonders and the possible future forests can build. Beginning with reforestation efforts within Hokkaido, the program reveals how local residents of varying backgrounds have learned to sustainably make use of forests. The program then delves into Hokkaido’s connection to Mongolia, where forestry conservation techniques have been passed on to help combat Mongolia’s environmental issues. Finally, the program returns to Japan and introduces the Obayashi Corporation, a major Japanese construction company, and their vision for a futuristic city where people live in harmony with forests, surrounded by forests.
