Kinsakubaru forest, Amami Oshima, Kagoshima, Japan.

 

   

Although, a while back, I've come back from Amami Oshima, an island between Kyushu and Okinawa, still I've got to worry about ...I am describing. It is Kinsakubaru primeval forest.

Vigor of the forest has gone. The forest has obviously changed its nature, comparing to the atmosphere of its three years ago. Especially a kind of fern along by the trail looks weakening.

The number of visitors increase recently. This is not only reason, but the balance of acceptance is evidently thrown off.

We should make a regulation which limit the number of people who enter the forest.
