Protesters in Tokyo formed a human chain 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.
"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." "ICOMOS regards this as an irreversible destruction of cultural heritage," Elizabeth Brabec, head of the organization's International Scientific Committee on Cultural Landscape, told a news conference.
