The Forest and Environment Research Association, composed of researchers and journalists involved in forest and environmental issues, began its activities in April 2015 with a majority of its members being replaced. The association's first meeting discussed research themes for the year, and one of the first topics raised was the upcoming 5-year anniversary of the East Japan earthquake. This led to the publication of the annual report "Forest Environment 2016," which focused on "Considering Forests and Regions 5 Years After the Earthquake." The report includes a preface, 10 research papers, and an afterword, and also covers other current topics such as the Paris Agreement and the Tokyo Olympics. The association hopes that the report will be read by many people interested in forest and environmental issues, including earthquake recovery.
