Jun 26, 2021 On June 4, Okinawa prefectural police raided the home of entomologist Akino Miyagi after she dumped waste she’d found in a Yambaru forest, an area destined to become a UNESCO World Heritage site, at the front gate of the U.S. military’s Northern Training Center in April. Miyagi, who has been studying the forest, said the gesture was a form of protest, since the area is littered with debris — some of it hazardous — discarded by U.S. forces that used it for training in the past. When she complained to police about the garbage, they ignored her, hence the protest.
