NHK World Radio Japan broadcasts current news from Japan and around the world. It also features programs on many aspects of the contemporary Japan. The 10-year Coastal Forest Restoration Project, implemented since 2011 is aimed at restoring the coastal forest devastated by the tsunami disaster by planting about 500,000 trees at the 100-hectare site. Since the full-pledged tree-planting activities started in April 2014, a total of 344,848 seedlings of black pine and other species were planted covering 97% of the target area with the donations and grants amounting to 674,132,559 as of February 2019.
