The Japanese term for the surviving trees is «hibaku jumoku». These have been thoroughly fenced off, some have been moved from their original locations and 200 of them still live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki together. In 2011, Green Legacy Hiroshima was founded, with the support of UNITAR and others, to distribute seeds and seedlings of the surviving trees to botanical gardens and official institutions around the world.

NWCC and Wonderful World presents you to a conversation about nature as a victim of war, and to a conversation about how a better understanding of nature is one of our few hopes for the future.
