Abstract/Summary:
Based on the great success the senior author had in Japan and other places in SE Asia, the two authors started similar activities in the Brasilian Amazon lowland cities. In order to demonstrate to the concerned citizens and to the youth, experiments were undertaken in which one could demonstrate how the population in general could assist the reforestation of the largely threatened tropical forest. Two kinds of experiments were carried out to demonstrate the reforestation with native trees from the Amazon lowland tropical forest.
