Recent sharp increase in environmental problems such as destruction and disappearance of natural forests all over the world is a critical sigh toward our future. We humans have done infinite damage on nature.
IGES-Japanese Center for International Studies in Ecology (IGES-JISE ) focuses on ecological approaches as efficient means to resolve various environmental problems, and aims to conserve, restore and create sound ecosystems that protect our life, cultures, and gene resources as well as other wild life.
