News at Eleven: When you say "love Nature" there are lots

of different ways of doing that. For instance, in one of the parks there is a little shrine. Ten years ago it was just a little shrine where people were putting flowers.

Gradually people came, things sprang up around it and more and more things were built around it, a road was built to it. All that is actually destroying nature because it is bringing people into the park in that way. So somebody having a good feeling about being in nature is not the same as understanding what nature means.
