In Aichi Japan, the event for celebrating the launch of this Year was held yesterday. It was intended to arouse the enthusiasm toward "10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity(COP10)" which will be held in Aichi this October.
I participated this event because I wanted to listen to the speech of C.W.Nicol. He is an old Englishman but now an old Japanese as he gained a Japanese citizenship in 1995. He is a writer and also a naturalist who have been working for the reforestation of the Japanese forests.
His speech gripped the attention of the audience. I was also the one who was impressed by his words. He didn't talk a lofty thing, but he just told us his experiences, feelings and ideas in simple words (in Japanese).
He said at the end of his speech;
"Diversity (not only the biodiversity but also the diversity of the humain) contains lots of possibilities. Let's take advantage of COP10 to appeal our beautiful nature and our potential possibilities to the world! "

↑There were so many couples in the park of mangrove forest! "...Honey, how beautiful you are!" "Thanks you are also handsome" ...Maybe they are whispering like that!
