🌊 Japan Built a Wall… and a Forest
After the terrible 2011 tsunami, Japan decided not just to rebuild, but to protect itself in a big way.
• They built the Great Tsunami Wall, stretching 395 km along the coast.
• In some places, it’s taller than a 4-story building (14.7 meters) and goes 25 meters deep into the ground to stop giant waves.
But Japan didn’t stop with concrete. They also planted 9 million trees to create the Great Forest Wall. This green barrier helps slow down waves and catches debris before it washes back to sea.
It’s a mix of human engineering and nature’s power—one of the world’s boldest defenses against disasters. 🇯🇵
