Forest of Yambaru, March
Ricoh has launched to support Yambaru Branch of Japan Wild
Birds Society in July 2002. The most important objective
is to purchase land in order to keep precious Yambaru Forest
as is, namely to run National Trust. But there are much
to do before it.

Importance of Yambaru Forest is in fact not known to the
people living in Okinawa. Further, people living in Hokkaido,
Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu may know the name of “Okinawa
Rail” but few of them must know that it lives only in Yambaru
Forest.

The Forest of Yambaru-POST
CARD
Thus, Ricoh has started the project from letting people know
about Yambaru Forest.
First, in the railway stations, schools and gas stands near
Yambaru, we have asked to put pamphlet that explained in detail
what sort of forest Yambaru was and what was happening there
now so as to have people visiting Yambaru read the pamphlet.
We have made picture postcards in use of accumulated pictures
taken by semiprofessional cameramen who belonged to Yambaru
Branch. Ricoh buys these postcards for use as a gift to customers.
And in such occasion, we inform them that there is precious
forest called Yambaru where all kinds of unique creatures
live, such precious forest is endangered of destruction in
the near future, many people should be interested in preserving
the forest, stop people poaching precious creatures or throwing
away pet cats and to drive carefully so that creatures do
not have accident.
