Forests play a vital role in preventing global warming and building sustainable societies. So the need to protect and develop them can never be stressed enough. Japan’s substantial forests make it a notable example. In brief, that is the message of the government report on forests and forestry released last week.

The government has its work cut out: fleshing out the basic program approved by the Cabinet last October.
