'Miracle lone pine' in Rikuzentakata

SENDAI, Japan - File photo taken March 27, 2011, shows what is now known as the ''miracle lone pine'' (front) on the coast of Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture. The tree is regarded as a symbol of reconstruction of the area devastated by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami after surviving the gigantic tidal wave that knocked down all the other roughly 70,000 pine trees on a 2-kilometer stretch along the Pacific shore.

Abrasion And Rising Sea Level Threatening The North Coast Of West Java

Children are playing on the village street right on the beach in Cemarajaya Village, Karawang Regency, West Java Province, on January 26, 2024. Village residents say that the rate of abrasion due to waves and rising sea levels in Cemarajaya Village is increasing, reaching an average of 5 meters each year. Since 1998, tidal waves and rising sea levels, along with tidal floods, have been hitting the village, especially after plantation land was converted into fish and shrimp ponds. Now, the residents' plantations have disappeared, and the houses have sunk. The village, which was originally about 1 kilometer from the coastline, is now at the front line of being hit by the waves and is still experiencing abrasion, which threatens its existence.
