“…In a similar example, the Cryptomeria japonica “miracle pine” in the tsunami‐hit Japanese town of Rikusentakata was the only tree left standing following the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami disaster (Davis and David , 150). When the 250‐year‐old specimen died due to saltwater exposure (Santiago‐Fandiño , 21), a 27‐meter tall replica of the tree was installed in its place (McCurry ). The commemoration of these trees suggests that integrity and authenticity—two more keystone values of cultural heritage status—can be bypassed for social (and, likely, political) gain in the construction of environmental narratives.…”

This article considers the emergence and role of “heritage trees” in Qatar. I suggest these trees are emblematic of a cultural heritage discourse that constructs a specific relationship to the landscape, one that is simultaneously informed by an imagined past and a desired future. I contextualize this development within the phenomenon of “survivor trees,” a global discourse that mobilizes a heritage rhetoric about anxieties of loss and desires for adaptation, in order to account for the recent appearance of “heritage trees” in Qatar as part of its efforts to build and mobilize its citizens’ support for a sustainable future. This discussion highlights the ways in which heritage discourses may be mobilized as powerful technologies in the construction of environmental imaginaries.

The large destruction of industrial facilities, processing factories and urban areas by the 2011 tsunami along the northeast coast of Tohoku Region (Japan) resulted in extensive contamination in most of the fl ooded areas and coastal waters; an enormous amount of mixed debris and radiation compounded these problems, creating both potential environmental and human health hazards which should be assessed throughout the reconstruction and the restoration process.
