 Hello! I'm the forests of Korea. I'll be telling you my story for the first time today. I used to be severely scarred and damaged. For a lot of reasons, many trees in Korea were cut down in the past. As a result, I was in intense pain. Bear, without forest cover, I was shivering in the cold. FAO and the international community gave me strong support. And the people of Korea came together to heal my wounds and plant new seeds of hope. With the entire country taking part in greenification projects, households, schools, organizations and villages came together to plant trees. Support from the international community and the people of Korea made me great once more. And I was championed as a success story. Now, I'd like to tell you how much I've grown since my successful rehabilitation. I feel I should give something back to the Korean people who have given me a new life. My greenification has led to a forest welfare cycle that improves the quality of life for everyone. As the pioneer of this green life cycle, I want to share it with the world. I've thought of ways that I can give benefits to each Korean to make their lives happier. With help from experts in many fields, I was able to develop age-specific forest welfare services by building detailed welfare plans based on one's life cycle. I'm able to ensure that everyone can enjoy forest welfare services. Now, let's find out the forest welfare services that are available throughout your life. The same as with a person, a forest follows its own life cycle, starting with birth. Indeed, mothers-to-be find comfort in forests, becoming one with nature. Just as a child is born and grows, so too does a sapling. When your mother is expecting, she can stroll through the forest and sense nature. I host forest prenatal care, including meditation, exercise and tree planting programs. These programs provide pregnant women tremendous emotional support by stabilizing heart rates, relieving stress and releasing positive hormones. You have taken your first powerful step into the world. Welcome! Let me be a place where you can grow and learn. At Forest Kindergarten, you can engage with nature through guided tours, observing nature and playing with woodblock or in sandpiles. These programs will foster creativity, concentration and curiosity, skills that you'll need throughout your life. You are not a baby anymore, and I am filled with things that you should know. You can take part in forest camps and after-school classes where you can go camping or make great memories with friends within nature. You are now an adult, escape the hassle of daily routines and enjoy forest sports that are filled with adventures. You will be able to experience exciting forest recreation activities in the mountains, including rock climbing, mountain biking, marathons, downhill skiing, zip-lining and other rope activities. When you reach mid-life, I want to provide a place where you can rest and get some recreation. Create beautiful memories with your friends and family while taking a rest and enjoying healing services at recreational forests, place for forest bathing, forest education centers, forest welfare complexes and various other health-related forest facilities. I'll be able to comfort you more than ever in your later years. Various therapeutic activities in forests will enhance your immune system, provide peace of mind and make your life even healthier. We all return to nature someday, and to me, death does not mean goodbye, but going back to where we came from. Korea's traditional tree burials have helped create forests, the practice has received global attention as a way for funerals to help, not hurt the environment. Throughout your life and beyond, I'll always be with you, providing tender, relaxing shelter. I'd like to see other countries take my story, one of bare mountains gaining mature forests and use it to generate new cycles that provide their people rehabilitation at each stage of their lives. Let's you and I, the forest of Korea, grow bigger and healthier together.
