In Japan, significant changes in forestry education and research occurred to adapt with these developments. For instance, the concept of “forestry” was changed to “forest science”, utilization of domestic wood becomes a trend, biomass and bioprocess are being promoted, effective absorption sources for carbon dioxide as remedy for global warming are being identified, and forest therapy is recognized. In addition, organization of national forestry universities and departments changed into a broader context and field science was broadly accepted. These changes in forestry education and research in Japan seeks to improve society and forest to suit the world progress.
