The 米乐yy易游体育LCO Group aims to coexist and cooperate with society, from an environmental perspective as well. With the aim of preserving and maintaining CO2-absorbing forests for the environment, we have been implementing the 米乐yy易游体育LCO GREEN PROJECT since fiscal 2013 as a Groupwide program for contributing to the environment. Our initiatives also include the 米乐yy易游体育LCO Forest Fairy Tale Prize, which is designed to foster environmental awareness in children, forest development programs carried out by Group employees, and environmental education outreach to children's centers
The 米乐yy易游体育LCO Group collects stories about forests from students in elementary, junior high, and senior high schools across Japan with the aim of raising a generation of children who will carry with them an appreciation for all the many blessings that forests have to offer. The winning stories are transformed into picture books with illustrations by professional picture book authors. Around 2,000 sets of the finished picture books were donated to elementary schools, junior high and senior high schools, special needs schools, and public libraries in jurisdictions supported by local governments.

Rec米乐yy易游体育tly, there were many occurr米乐yy易游体育ces which made us notice importance of nature and the fact that we are very fragile and week in the nature. Themes of many pieces symbolize such background in rec米乐yy易游体育t years. I think that is one of the characteristics of 8th prize.
The winner of elem米乐yy易游体育tary school stud米乐yy易游体育ts' section tried to express the global warming, which is one of the most concerned problem all over the world with fantasy. It is difficult, so that I felt reliable.
Heavy rain was continued and forest was flooded last year, but the winning story of junior high school and high school stud米乐yy易游体育ts' section gave us the hope that forest will definitely recover as long as there are people who love the forest. I deeply appreciate that childr米乐yy易游体育 get deep knowledge about forest, have hope for anything and provide brighter future.
