Meeting Trees Sending Trees that Survived Atomic Bombing from Hiroshima to the World
Green Legacy Hiroshima Initiative (GLH) is a citizen’s group in Hiroshima City which works to preserve and spread worldwide the invaluable seeds and saplings from trees that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The group hopes to use A-bomb survivor trees to speak out against war and nuclear weapons, convey the value of nature, and provide a chance to re-examine humanity.
We spoke with two figures who help make GLH’s mission possible: Dr. Nassrine Azimi, senior advisor at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), and Ms. Watanabe Tomoko, executive director of the NGO organization, ANT-Hiroshima.
