Protesters demand that #Japan save 1000s of #trees by revising a design plan for a popular #Tokyo park
Story by Mari Yamaguchi, September 17, 2023
"#Protesters in Tokyo formed a #HumanChain Sunday to demand the government save thousands of trees by revising its plan to redevelop a popular downtown park.
"Demonstrators, many wearing green shirts and holding up signs saying, 'Save Jingu Gaien,' demanded the Education Ministry take action even though the landowner is one of its agencies.
"#Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike approved the plan in February, a move that would allow #developers — real estate company Mitsui Fudosan, Meiji Jingu shrine, Itochu Corp. and the ministry-affiliate Japan Sports Council — to build a pair of 200-meter (650-foot) #skyscrapers and an 80-meter (260-foot) tower.
"That would require cutting down nearly 3,000 trees at #JinguGaien, one of Tokyo's most historic and beloved #green areas. The plan would also raze and rebuild a historic baseball stadium where Babe Ruth played and change a rugby field to one with artificial grass.
"Also at stake are the well-known 150 #gingko trees lining a century-old promenade built to commemorate Emperor Meiji, the great-grandfather of Emperor Naruhito. Critics and environmental activists say the gingko trees will be under threat from any construction right next to them.
"'I just had to come and do something to stop tree-cutting that could start this month,' said Nahoko Shirakawa, holding a handmade sign. 'I cannot just sit around and see the demise of 100-year-old gingko trees.'
"Rochelle Kopp, a movement leader who operates a Tokyo management consulting company, said the ministry should protect the Gaien as a #NaturalCulturalHeritage site. She said the ministry also should designate the area as a scenic site as a way of protecting it."
