Organization information
OISCA International
Location: Suginami-ku, Japan
Summary
This project aims to regenerate the 100 hectares shirabe forest at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, which was damaged by insects. Since 2007, in collaboration with the government, forest experts, companies/organizations, and forest workers OISCA initiated the planting of 40,000 pest-resistant broad-leaf seedlings of different species. This action is crucial to the conservation and protection of Mt. Fuji as a World Heritage site.
