    Global concern about climate change has surged, with internet searches for keywords such as "heatwave," "urban heat island effect," "El Niño," "1.5°C," and "climate refugees" increasing 27-fold since 2017.
    Despite contributing only 4% of the global carbon emissions, the 46 poorest countries, including Burundi, South Sudan, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi, Madagascar, Sierra Leone, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, and Niger, have suffered 69% of the climate disaster-related deaths over the past 50 years.
    Therefore, Tony Rinaudo, an Australian agricultural expert and the 2022 recipient of the 25th Global Love of Life Medal from our foundation, has been dedicated to saving the planet for the past 43 years, bringing hope through reforestation in the world's poorest countries, such as Niger.
     Climate change is everyone's responsibility. Each person can maintain their own "underground forest," as expressed in Zhou Da Guan's life poem "Planting Trees": "We plant ourselves as a tree, generation after generation... growing into a healthy forest, a forest of love, a forest of hope."
    We sincerely invite everyone to get a copy of "Underground Forest." Let’s all read with love to understand: a healthy forest. Let’s all read with love to understand: a hopeful Earth.
