00:30I think Nakano was the most amazing field biologist I've ever worked with.
00:36He was very eager to know what is going to happen to this planet.
00:49The big contribution he made is building a big bridge between western science and Japanese science.
01:00I don't know if it's right to say that I like living things,
01:06but I like people around me.
01:30His students and his colleagues are really changed forever.
01:46They carry his spirit as a scientist and they spread it.
01:50He showed us new ways of thinking about ecosystems and about how ecosystems are very interdependent.
02:02That not only do forests feed streams, but that streams feed forests.
02:07And if we're interested in having productive forests and streams,
02:11we need to keep those ecosystems interacting with each other.
